I must admit, when I begin a story or a fanfiction or really anything, I usually begin with a certain emotion. I never, ever write out a plan, I just sit down with one specific emotion eating away at my brain. As I sit wondering how to pass the emotion through to my readers I begin seeing images, characters and settings.

For this contest I would like everyone to write a short story in hopes of passing a message to your readers. It can be the ache in your heart as your lover says goodbye, or a low throbbing pain resting in your head. It can be anything a feeling, an emotion or even just a message.

There is no word limitations. Just sit, write and enjoy. If you guys could put the message (or emotion/feeling) for the title that would be great, then the readers can properly let you know if you were successful with your goal!

Have fun!
