The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show! Tonight’s theme is…
REVENGE. Prepare a five-minute story about retaliation. Proportional justice, payback, comeuppance, and laughing last... You can serve it up cold or simply live well, and sometimes Karma steps in and does all the work for you! Tell us about when they got theirs, or when you got yours. Revenge can consume you, ruining you or giving you the satisfaction necessary to move on. Do unto others as they have done to you!

PLOT TWIST. Prepare a five-minute story about unexpected developments. Comedies turned tragic, and curses turned to blessings. When your best friend becomes your mortal enemy, or your least favorite person becomes the love of your life. The mundane day that turned into a wild adventure. Glow-ups, curveballs, hidden motives, hand of god interventions, and shocking revelations. Didn't see that coming!

SCHOOLED. Prepare a five-minute story about the lessons that shaped you. Wisdom passed down by elders, gurus, and sages. Textbooks, hard knocks, lucky breaks, triumphs and mistakes. From fortune cookies to astrology. Confucius to Brené Brown. The realest reality checks from teachers, siblings, bosses and bullies.

SERENDIPITY. Prepare a five-minute story about the time an accident felt like fate. A wrong turn lands you at your new best friend's doorstep. The botched job interview that led you to your true calling. Losing your wallet -- only for it to be found by a long-lost cousin. Coffee spilled on the shirt of your future soulmate. Happy accidents. Meet-cutes. Windfalls. Fortuitous flukes. Is it magic? Is it kismet? No...it's pure serendipity.

BOSSY. Prepare a five-minute story about a domineering force. Your mama, your shift manager, or you. The “My way or the highway” attitudes that broke up friendships or relationships. Unsolicited or inspiring directives! Learning to relinquish control, bucking authority, or caving because it’s easier (or because you’re into that). Why? Because I said so!
