In honor of October, Halloween, and unlucky thirteen, let's have a thirteen word story contest! I know. Six words is just few enough to make an oomph, and ten sounds too tame. But what about exactly thirteen? Sounds, haunting.

So, write a story with exactly thirteen words, no more, no less. Any genre, though darker themed ones usually work better, and rated PG-13 or less. If you're going to talk about more adult subject matter, it's time to get creative with those euphemisms.

Starting October 8, 2016, you'll have four weeks to make your masterpiece. Three entries per person, and exactly thirteen words each. Any more or less won't count towards badges (sorry, guys). Judging by ShadowBobcat10, the infamous (or not) sci-fi writer.

Now are you ready? Four weeks.  Get. Set. GO!

Last Minute Clarification:Contractions count as one word. "It's" is one word. "Don't," and "we'll" are both one word. I'm noticing a few issues are missing one or two words due to contractions, so I just wanted to make that clear. Sorry for posting this so late.

The title says it all... Tell us a story in exactly 6 words, nothing more, nothing less. A story of passion, heartbreak, a pet... Anything you want! Make it something meaningful that will resonate in the mind of your reader. Take me to that desolate place in your mind. I want to feel that deep-seated pain, love, humor, tragedy, suspense, or anything else you're feeling. MUST be only 6 words. Two entries per person. Winner will be based on like count :) get out there and knock us dead!

After looking at the cover picture, I want all of you creative minds to be inspired and write a story of any length about the love between these two kids. It can be interpreted as sibling love, friendship or young love. Any kind of love. Whatever comes to mind, just write. There is no word limit or genre, but it must be inspired by this picture.

Good luck <3

Ever thought of how cool it is to have different people write a cool, awesome story? 

In this one, someone will start it off with whatever they choose. The next person will follow up with an entry following the previous post, and so on. Your job is to continue where the previous person left off until the end.

There will be no real judgement. Everyone gets points for participation!

The power is yours!

The sky's the limit!

....

At the end of the contest, everyone's entries will be featured in a story. Hey, you can vote on the title!

There is no assigned plot, so the adventure is yours!
