Squiddish has the Squid Challenge, and I now introduce...

*drumroll*

The ferret challenge! Yes! Mustela putorius furo are awesome, so I encourage everyone who is able to put a ferret somewhere in your story. Make just about anything instantly better by adding a ferret! Or add a whole business of them! They could appear in the fur, in a picture, or even as a verb! Yes, "ferret" is a verb as well as a noun! :D People who complete this challenge will get a special prize (which I have yet to define.)

Go Ferrets!

What the? Cunningham mumbled as he craned his neck to see what had happened.

He had fallen asleep on his back. Duct tape held his shoulders and knees in place, while plastic cling-wrap held his middle down.

What the hell? Oh, seriously? He muttered. Come on, you guys!

Got you! We got you! Evans whooped. Hoo, boy! We got you good!

Cunningham wiggled his shoulders and knees, writhing like a ferret to try and get out of the makeshift restraints. He was strapped in remarkably well given how few layers of tape and plastic there were.

How's this? The below happens just at the start of a massive hurricane!

Alberto. Mrs. Cruz called and Harmony joined hin as the midwife, frowning, continued her preparations. She talk of Oscar. Must rescue him.

Oscar? Alberto said. I dont know any Oscars.

The school ferret. It was her week to feed Oscar and clean his cage. Harmony licked her lips. She must have gone to the school to get him.

Awesome! :D Glad to see you could use a ferret to ratchet up the tension in your novel!

Thanks for the added challenge. I wasn't sure how to add one. Then my story got very boring and I did need to ratchet up the tension. Wish more people would rise to the challenge.
