The 21- Word Short Story Contest

YWS is growing up so fast! In honor of turning 21, we are running a 21-word challenge! Turning 21 means a lot of freedom, so the rules are simple. You can pick between one of the two prompts, or both, and write a 21-word story based on the phrase "coming-of-age" and/or "blue and gold". Submissions must be exactly 21 words. The exact prompt phrases DO NOT have to be included.
Judging will be done by myself and other members of the Gen Lit crew, and prizes will be handed out by the Gen Lit Crew by November 23th

Submission Dates : November 14 - November 16

Challenge: Write a 21-word challenge off of the prompts Coming-of-Age or Blue and Gold

Prizes: 1st place 3500 points, 2nd place 2000 points, 3rd place 1000 points and 1 review my myself on any work of your choice.

Where: post right here in the forum!

Once you upon a time, there was a brave knight. Garbed in blue, gold sword raised, she declared the greenroom vanquished.

One blue gosling was lost in deep green bramble. When the brave knights cut it down, she became a Golden Goose!

A jester wearing silks of golden blue, held a blade to his lover’s neck and pierced, as the audience cheered, "Forevermore!"

The once boy threw up his hands at the blue midnight and, under a thousand twinkling golden stars, became a man.

It was yesterday I found that I'd been young once. I never knew it until I looked—and my! Who was that?
