Titular, an online journal of fictions in the the 500 - 1000 word range, publishes stories that borrow titles from well-known novels, films, or TV shows. According to the web site, these stories “do not need to relate to the original entity from which the title came, but should be inextricably tied to the title itself on a semantic level.”
Your task: write one of these things. Give yourself a title. As the Titular web site says, the more well-known the better. 101 Dalmations. Dumb and Dumber. For Whom the Bell Tolls. Desperate Housewives. Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The Sound and the Fury. You've Got Mail. The Backyardigans. PIck a title and go. 500 -1000 words.
If you want to look through some others on the site before starting -- and I imagine you might -- here are two very good ones, both to be found under the 'films' heading:
"Die Hard With a Vengeance," by Gene Morgan
"Kill Bill," by Brandi Wells
