First I will introduce the people that will be assissting me with this contest: @RavenMoonStone (Raven), @Thewriter13 (Writer), @ContestPointPool (Cona). Cona : So... This is called Cause Us Emotional Pain. It's purpose is to make us feel pain when we read your works.I Raven : For example: when we say "cry", we mean, "Make us cry because the whole story is so emotional" Not, "Make us cry because the story is so bad, with the bad grammar and horrible plot." Got it? Good. Writer : When we read your works, make your words stab us in the heart! I want to feel sorrow and suffering for the characters you develop, the plots you unfold, and the dialogue you construct. When you start brainstorming for this short story, think of the saddest plot you could come up with. Sure it won't be Rue's death, but I'm sure you coulld come up with something even more emotional than that. :) Make sure to use as many description as you can in order to create a more detailed, more sorrwful story. Cona: The rules for the short stories are simple. 1. The short story has to be AT LEAST 500 words long, 2000 at the max. (Title does not count in the word count) 2. This CANNOT be fan fiction. 3.

here is a short poem. it is very very sad.

Best buddies to the end

My buddy

Buddy to the end

left our friendship

to be with the stars

The knife still on that table

alas the days are getting more painful

Buddies to the end

Winterfell is cold.
