Friend or Faux? A story about an (alien?) shapeshifter whose chimeric DNA makeup allows it to imitate anyone it touches. A conflict/solution (depending upon POV) arises when it assimilates template DNA from someone with a genetically-based neurodegenerative disease (such as Lou Gehrig's disease). The disease blocks the creature’s ability to shape-shift and it is trapped in a failing shell.
Junker A junk dealer who fixes/recycles broken items acquires a powerful spell writer with a defective spell checker. All hell breaks loose when (s)he tries to fix the infernal contraption.
Cookin’ Skag University researchers create yeast cells that can produce morphine and oxycodone from a simple glucose-based culture media. The organism is smuggled out of the facility on a Band-Aid and grown in sterile Mason jars. This could be a biological “Breaking Bad” scenario coupled with a little terrorist action/human interest as the market for opium poppies crashes. This story could be taken from tomorrow’s headlines.

Plug and Play A scientist learns to pull massive amounts of clean energy from another dimension, using inexpensive portable devices. The world’s energy problems are solved until the residents of the tapped dimension send a collection agency to settle the Earth’s delinquent power bill.
Potions A molecular biologist uses his training to create some of the most famous potions in history and sells them via the Internet. The potions work, but buyer beware!
