Start Piece:
The sun was bright and warm, at least warm enough to heat the grass. She watched it wave in the breeze and shivered as it came through the bush she was hiding in. She could hear the children screaming and laughing as they played around her. She felt safe here. For now.

Some Inspiration Questions:

  • Who, or what is this girl?
  • Why is she hiding?
  • Is someone after her? If so who and why?
  • Where is she hiding (no, not the bush, the place)?
  • What year is it?
  • What country/world is she in?
  • When will she stop hiding?
  • Where will she go and what will she do?
  • Is she hurt?
  • Does she have anything special about her?

What We’re Looking For:

  • CREATIVITY!!
  • Proper grammar, context, and spelling.

We’re mainly looking for creativity! We want you to use your imaginations and totally throw us out of the water, make us go for a tailspin! Do something we don’t expect. Make it silly, or funny, or what ever! The most entertaining, well written, and creative wins!

Competition Submission:
May 1st - June 1st (ends at 12am June 1st in Georgia, Atlanta time).

Please Note: NO entries submitted BEFORE 12am Georgia Atlanta time on May 1st will be accepted. All entries MUST be posted between the dates and use the competition icon which will become usable in the short stories board on May 1st.
