Prompts
- It's Boxing Day, traditionally the day when servants got their presents, and leftover food was distributed to the poor. Your character is a servant in a big house. The gift they find in their Boxing Day Box turns out to be life-changing.
- It's also the traditional start of the pantomime season. Try your hand at writing the outline of a plot for a new pantomime. It can be based on a story not hitherto given the panto treatment - a modern classic, perhaps, or a modernisation of a traditional panto tale. Make it as camp and daft as you possibly can!
- "In waking a tiger, use a long stick." Mao Tse Tung

Do they blow the whistle or become complicit?
