Round 6: Don't You Forget About Me
Lots of shit going on here in Wattpad City. Anthologies out the ass. Contests left and right. And then we've got little ol' SD:MMR, still trucking along.
Not only that, but we were delayed. Apologies for that. Though the title for this round is remarkably apt, considering it was picked long before any unforeseen delays occurred.
Let's get right into it, shall we, Final Four?

Prompts will be down at the bottom of this part.
Word count is: 3,500–4,000 words.

Judges, each of you will be judging all four stories. We'll be going for a total of 45 points.

Now for prompts:
SteamPunk and First Contact... Wouldn't that have been fuckin' cool?
I really love the combination, but unfortunately the person it had been assigned to last round dropp—was eaten, so let's try it again, shall we?
And to make it fun, half of you will get that first combination, while the other half will get something new, a second combination.
And to spice that stuff up even further, we'll continue with the "Don't You Forget About Me" title and assign you all an historic event/person to include in your story, whether you are recreating them, retelling their story, retconning, whatever.
Your names, a pair of numbers, and items from history have been thrown into three hats. One by one, I've removed a name, a slip of paper with either a 1 (first combination) or a 2 (second combination) written on it, and an event/person from history.
AngusEcrivain: SteamPunk + First Contact, September 11th World Trade Center Attack
elveloy: SteamPunk + First Contact, Bombing of Nagasaki
Reffster: SamuraiPunk + Post-Apocalyptic, Adolf Hitler
bloodsword: SamuraiPunk + Post-Apocalyptic, Jack the Ripper
To be clear: Let's say you've got the hypothetical "StonePunk + Singularity, Donald Trump"—you don't necessarily need to have a guy named Donald Trump living in that robotic Stone Age world, not unless that's the story you're writing. Instead, as an example, you could have a douchebag businessman with bad hair becoming President of said robotic Stone Age world. Get as creative as you like with your assigned people/events.
In addition to the above:
You must utilize Simple Minds' song, "Don't You (Forget About Me)." I leave it to you how you do it.
