    Full pen name: Monos Delainy Ophion Alba.
    Motto: Flip the mirror and see things from a different perspective.

    The stories I post on here are all a bunch of rough copies. However, I hope that they are at least critique-worthy for anyone who finds them.

EDIT: Since this contest isn't that popular, I decided to put it to Creator's Pick. Also, I've been wanting to get back into drawing, so the Prize Winners will get a drawing based on their work.

Word Prompt: (to) Rip

Definition: (1) To cut or tear away/apart in a rough or vigorous manner, (2) to become torn apart or split open, (3) to move with violence, (4) to cheat, (5) something or someone of little value.

Challenge: Write about this word, describe it as best as you can, but don't use it in your writing. Meaning, use all 5+ of the senses to show the act of Ripping without using the word 'Rip'. What is getting destroyed? What does it sound like? How does the tattered ends feel like? Better yet, try to omit synonyms for Rip, like to Tear or to Shred.

I've found that one big thing most writers new and old have trouble with will always be the ol' "Show, Don't Tell" when writing. I hope that this will give everyone a good little challenge to improve their skills. There's no word count or rating, so go wild!
