Our new contest is a timely one.

Here in the USA, April is tax time. Yes, for us it's time to fill out our annual tax declarations and for some, time to write that check to the government for all their help over the past year.

So this contest is about taxes, who we pay them to, how much they are, what medium we pay them in or even if we pay them at all.

Your characters conflict is paying the tax, filling out the forms or anything else that could be related to taxes in a science fiction, fantasy or horror genre.
