YWS is turning 13 this year and what better way to celebrate is a contest! In this, you must write a sentence using only thirteen words and enter only ONE. Submit sentence in the thread.

You have until to submit your work!

The winner will receive 250 points, second place will receive 200 points, and third place will receive 150 points! Have fun and if you have any questions, let me know!
You are like a blacksmith's hammer, you always forge people's happiness until the coal heating up the forge turns to ash. Then you just refuel it and start over. -Persistence (2015)

You have so much potential and love bursting in you. -Omnom

And there's nothing I can do - it's a total eclipse of the heart.
Pants are an illusion. And so is death.

The time of death was 7:06 P.M – we only found half of him.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

I did not write these words -
they became their own
and wrote me.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

Of the many things I can't remember, I wish I could remember him.
We are who we are, and if someone has a problem with that; that's their problem not ours.

Nothing's been the same since you left us, so I started to write.

We once sought conformity, but now I'm lighter than air... and you're dead.
I bought a cactus. A week later it died. I got depressed because I thought Damn, I am less nurturing than a desert.

Thirteen words seemed far too many to write, then suddenly far too few.
