Writing challenge: Book titles with new stories

A writing challenge that is, so far, between Plex and myself.

The challenge is to write original works based off of just titles of exiting books or stories. The new works shouldn't have anything to do with the original work beyond the title (unless by accident).

So list 10 book titles or story titles of books that you really liked (or out-right loved). Then pick 5 titles from another list to base your new writing on. Any writing style can be used.

One story should be done by the end of the month for the next five months, starting in March.

Here is my list of 10:

1. Magician: Apprentice
2. Foundation
3. How Few Remain
4. Kaleidoscope
5. Nightfall
6. Under the Banner of Heaven
7. Cat's Cradle
8. Beggars of Spain
9. The End of the World News: An Entertainment
10. The Windup Girl
