Save The Flash Fiction Challenge

I sent an email out to the previous participants in Grimace's "Flash Fiction Challenge" in the hope that we can get it started again. Two people have responded so far, so I decided to send out the following challenge:

Flash Fiction Challenge #7:

1. Maximum length: 250 words.
2. The theme is: Resignation
3. The year is: 1975
4. Within the story you must use this text: "on a pedestal"

I can't wait to see what they come up with!
