writing prompt #882

A next level life — Imagine this is how the world works: every human on the planet is forced to trade lives with someone else once a year. The trades are negotiated based on the perceived quality of life you have. You’ve decided that this is the year that you are going to work really hard to get a better trade in. What will you do over the next 365 days to get yourself a better chance at a trade that really is a level up from the life you have now? What will you do to earn a next level life? And what kind of a life are you hoping to trade yours in for?

Fiction option: tell the story of a person who is trying desperately to level up and how that goes for them.
