I think I'm going to have to drop out. I won't be able to finish my story by the 8th (and it really wants to be too long lol).

I do think I will finish it eventually though. So if you ever see me post a story that reminds you of A Peck of Gold by Robert Frost, that's it. I just won't have enough writing time between now and the eighth to finish it.

Thank you for the lovely inspiration. :)

Acquainted With the Night
John 14:27:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."

Aww, I just found out about this. I was just going to request Goethe but I have a lot of work at school so I'm not sure I could finish by the end of tomorrow.
Und so lang du das nicht hast
Dieses: Stirb und Werde!
Bist du nur ein trĂ¼ber Gast
Auf der dunklen Erde

(And as long as you don't have
This: Die and become!
You are only a gloomy guest
On the dark Earth)

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Okay, so entries are officially closed (I'm late to post this, I know)! Judging will begin shortly, and then the winners will be announced once they've been decided! Thanks to everyone who entered!
if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives

This sounds like a good writing challenge for me! I'll join!
