Group-Sponsored Independence (Day) Contest

Details

Do you seek independence, or shun it? And what is it you seek independence from? Do you remember a specific day, or a minute, or did your independence happen a lifetime ago?

The Strange/Weird group is looking for stories beyond waving a flag or lying in your hammock. (If you're doing both and not using your hands, that's a start, though.)

The tale must cross borders, and push boundaries of believability.
