Like recently I saw a line in a book that said “It hurts more cause you were my family.”

idk why But I feel it being relatable plus I get the vibe.

so yeah!

This will be interesting....

You are allowed 100 words or less only! If you go over 100 words, you will be disqualified. I'll explain why in a minute.

Ok. I'm going to just write a paragraph to a story. Then, the first entry will have to continue that story with their given 100 words. They will have to stop somewhere in the story. (It can even be in a middle of a sentence.) Then, the next entry will continue that story. And so on and so forth. The person with the most creative section of the story wins.

RULES-

1. Only 100 words or less.

2. Only one entry per person.

3. No swearing!

4. Nothing inappropriate. Some violence is allowed, just don't go over PG.

Here is the starting section of the story.

--

I did not believe he would actually do it! But he did!

My brother won the lottery. One billion bucks.

Just wow.

"So, what is your plan for it all?" my mother asks that night around the dinner table.

"Yes. You've got to have a plan or all this money will just fly out of the window," my dad adds in.

"Well," my brother thinks, "I'm going to put most of it into savings. But first, I want to be able to get us out of this flea sized apartment."

--

Alright. The first person to add an entry continues this story, then the second person will continue the story off of the first entry.

This can go anyway you guys want. We could add some gamblers and plane crashes or keep it smooth. Your choice.

Have fun!

Hello everyone who see's this! my first contest didn't go very well so i'm making another one

also there's a better picture on the first entry

RULES!

1. word count is approximately 2000 word limit

2. please disclaim your story's properly

3. all genres of story's aloud

4. good luck and have fun!

Also fyi its AI generated

What do you most regret from your past? What moment in your life do you want to have another shot at?

For this contest, I want you to choose one moment you regret the most in your past and rewrite it. Change how you wanted to act, feel, look, etc. Whatever you change about yourself will affect how things pan out throughout the rest of the moment, so think each decision through thoroughly. Keep things realistic (no alien invasions, resurrections, etc.)

There is no word limit, however, if there is violence, gore, or cursing involved, please put a warning at the top of your entry. Please do not include any sexual content. Two entries maximum per participant.

We all deserve a second chance, so make this one count! Good luck and have fun!

You wake up one day and, you realise you have magic power! What power do you get and what happens next?

word limit -1000

From one of the given prompts, I want you to write a short story using onlydialogue. It's going to be difficult, I know, I know, but it's a really good challenge to stretch your writing creativity. I did this a while back, and I have to say, it can be fun at times. Here are the prompts:

1. you (and possibly someone else) are stuck in the elevator for hours

2. a "bad boy/girl" turns out to be the perfect student

3. library research reveals a secret about your school

4. your best friend starts wearing big, bold scarves everywhere

Weird prompts, right? Choose one and have fun with it! There should be two to three people involved, but I'm warning you, writing with only dialogue for a conversation between three people is really hard. Make sure to introduce them through dialogue. Check out The Chemistry of Feng Li Su(found on my profile) for some inspiration. I'm not going to give you a word limit, so get those creative juices flowing! Good luck!
