Authors are tasked with using either piece as a story prompt, and create an original work of fiction of between 500 and 1500 words in length. I am not too strict on this unless judging is awfully close.
This will run for two weeks from today, closing at 23:59 PM Feb 25th.
There will be one overall winner who will receive 20 Steem plus the SBD payout from this post. Three runners up will win 5 Steem each.
Post your stories to Steem and link them in the replies below. Make sure you include the artwork or photo in your post and attribute it to
TOP MUXXY TIP: make your way over to The Writers' Block on Discord to have your work critiqued and edited or to brainstorm ideas with our awesome staff, volunteers and members. It won't cost you a thing and will add that extra bit of polish to your submissions.
Good luck everybody, I look forward to reading your entries in a fortnight's time.
