Challenge 96

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

This weeks challenge comes from "The Mysterious Traveler," a radio series from the 40s and 50s.

A Child is Crying
A nervous military gets their hands on a freaky 7 year old boy who has an IQ well above Einstein's, an ability to calculate the future, and his own intentions for how that future will play out.
(adapted from a short story written by John D. MacDonald, summary copied from Old Time Radio Plot Spot; I don't know the original radio broadcast date, but it was also adapted for the television program "Tales of Tomorrow" and aired on August 17, 1951; you can watch the program at the Internet Archive)

Original fic, any fandom, any genre; real and fictional person pairings; slash, gen or het; fics, graphics, or videos. The goal is to inspire creation of any stripe and color. And most importantly, have fun.

If this interests or intrigues you, if you think you'd like to play around with the theme, or if you already have an idea that's just itching to be realized, please comment to this post to express your interest. This doesn't commit you to creating something based on this challenge; it just gives us an idea about what things the community members find most compelling.
