Imagine you or your character lives during the 2nd World War (1939 -1945) in the countryside of England as a farmer. Last night a plane crashed nearby your home and the German pilot survived. At a certain point you or the character comes face to face.

What would you do? Would you take him in or kill him without question? Or do you have another idea?

Everything is welcome as long it's PG-13 and taking place in that dark chapter of history. Even stories of relatives or true events are welcome too.

Don't hesitate to ask questions since I am sort of a history nerd and know the German language. :-)

If you need an idea here's a YouTube film to watch and learn:

Pen ready, paper set, write!

Write a piece of writing that is approximately 700 words long inspired by the title 'The Unopened Door'. The judging of this contest has been set to like count and will last four weeks from Wednesday 1st August 2018. Have fun and good luck!

As inspired by @CalicoCarter, I would like you to write me a story. I don't mind what genre or length, I'll read anything!

Just one specification: It must include some sort of birthday theme or message, one or the other.

If you can't think of anything, try using some information from my account's bio for inspiration!

I can't wait to read the entries! (In which I will be reading and judging on the 23rd, no peeking until the day!)

There are seven deadly sins, choose a sin and write about it.  You can create a character or any representation of the sin, but it must creatively and effectively communicate and portray that sin.

There is Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride.

I'm really looking for the creative edge in these entries, guys!  I'm hoping to find new and interesting interpretations of the sins, not just the surface meaning.  For example, people can lust for something other than sexual desire (since lust is simply desire in general); people can be greedy for things that are not materialistic; people can be wrathful but passive-aggressive or simply broody.  See what I mean?  Really dig deep into the word and find a way to represent it.  Again, I'm looking for creativity!

Have fun and good luck,

LovelySheree

Example entry: Lust

This is to show a more abstract grip of what one of the seven deadlys can mean.  I chose "Lust.".  Entries can be longer, include a short story and dialogue, or have much more involved, or it can be simple like this.  It's up to you!

I always seek out a challenge, although, on first appearance, I'm not a challenging person.  I take my challenges inside my head, constantly thinking about self-improvement or any form of maximization.  They go unnoticed.  For someone who's constantly doing something, I look fairly laid-back and slow-moving; yet everything spins in my head as I figure out way after way of getting around, going over, or going through any and every situation.  I am always looking for a new challenge.  Always looking for what's next.

If someone says "good job," I may agree, but I know that it could've been better.  Anything can be better.  Everything should be better.  I should be better.  And that is the ultimate challenge is it not?  To strive to be the best?  And perhaps not for self-glory but at least the satisfaction of it?

I fear the day I cannot improve anything.  I fear that I will wither up.  That my strength will slowly diminish and I will become dust.  Purposeless.  And out of this fear drives this unending need to do.A need to gain.A need to advance.  If ever I reach the end, I pray my time will already be up.

Write a poem about anything. It can be long or short or whatever. I can't wait to see what comes out of all these beautiful minds.. good luck.

I'm giving you a list of words.

Glanceat the list. Don't Google or search up the definition.

Pickone and Thinkabout it, what does it speak to you?

Scroll down to the definition. Read the definition of the chosen word and Write.

You don't have to use the word but, you may if you wish to do so.

Try not to Pickanother word or learn the meaning before enlightening yourself to the word.

:) I wish you all good luck. Good Day.
