Just that! I'm really a lover of darker themes like these...
Whether it is a short story or poem, I want to hear the heartfelt cry of someone who is battling between life and death. 

I don't like judging by like counts because people who have more followers/post earlier will have an advantage, so it will unfortunately be my subjective judging. Feel free to comment on entries that you like best, and I'll take that into account, too!

Have fun! Pour your heart out. It doesn't have to strictly be about you or is non-fictional. I wrote a "sample" entry in my style so you can have some ideas (it won't be considered in the contest). Try to keep things within 1000 words, since it is a flash contest.
