What better way to get into the flow of things? Simply hurl myself off into the deep end and be open to criticisms and teachings of people in the same kind of dingy as me and hopefully gain insight and wisdom from those commandeering their own tanker in the same waters.

So I entered.

A 1,000 word limit to all stories which must be submitted within 48 hours. Each entrant receives three prompts.

A genre: This must be the main theme of the story

A location: This must be the main location

An object: Must be somewhere in the story, but doesn’t need to be intregal to the plot.

Easy right?
