Are you brave enough to finish the story? Can you take a beginning and make a middle and end to wow the audience?
Will you tackle the challenge of taking a story starter and turning it into something new and unexpected?
In This Contest:
You will be given a line to start a short story. This line must appear, intact, somewhere within the first five sentences of your piece. Your story starter will be unique to you, so no one else in the contest will have it!
You will have a month, from the 1st of September to the 30th, to write and edit your piece. All works must be submitted by September 30th to be considered for judging.
The Prizes:
1st Place: 1500 points or 3 reviews
2nd Place: 1000 points or 2 reviews
3rd Place: 500 points or 1 review
All prizes offered by Kays!

What's the catch?
There is none! If you would like to participate, post here, and you will receive your story starter on August 30th US CDT (to account for timezone differences).
When you post in the thread, please include these things: what tense you would prefer to write in (past, present, future), and what viewpoint you would prefer to write from (1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person). Story starters will be individually provided based on these requirements!
If you would like to be a guest judge, please PM me and I'll get in touch with you about it!
