| @ibbtammy | Unrequited Love
I got dressed in my khaki pants and a black top, just when I was looking for my sweater as I needed to be properly covered because of the air conditioners in the cinema, in the process of looking for it, I heard a knock on my door, my sister walked in and she was smiling, the kind of smile she usually wears whenever she’s about to ask me for money or borrow my stuff, before she could utter a word I beat her to her game. |
| @joycealarapon | House hunting walk-a-thon
We were both newly appointed interns with the goal of getting a house for six months only. Most importantly, two bedroom flats - my friend in one room and my sweet self in the other room, with close distance to the workplace, running water, and good power supply. |
| @jhymi | Little Objects
And so, I devised a means. I had to have an object with me. A bag, a book, anything at all. When I walked, I’d adjust my bag on my shoulders, I’d run my fingers through the pages of my book, I’d twirl the pen in my hands and everything would be alright. No stumble. No stutter. Easy smile. Easy life. |
| @stuartcturnbull | Where's My Wallet?
One morning I was hustling round the house on the way to work meetings and to visit Liz at the hospital. I couldn't find my wallet. My laptop was in my bag, I had my keys, various documents for work were accounted for. My wallet? Gone. It wasn't by my bed, or in my coat, or the car, or anywhere. |
Our third place winner is 
I opened the gift, it was the skateboard that I had asked for. In the letter that I had written to Baby Jesus, I immediately said, "Grandma, this gift, Baby Jesus didn't bring it to me, it was Aunt Yuli, who brought it".
Our second place winner is
I sat on one of the armchairs in our sitting room, pulled my legs to my chest and curled my hands around my knees. I wished the ground would open up so I could hide until my parents stopped talking. My siblings had vanished to their rooms.

Later, we step out together, eat tagine and chargrilled brochettes in the smoking marketplace, and joke with the sellers whose comedy both entertains and sells. It does not take long to slip into a kind of pigeon banter - a sprinkling of French peppering our English with an Arabic greeting connects us quickly to the people who appreciate our attempts. Later we will be in a transport hub waiting for our bus to leave to take us over the Atlas mountains, and we watch their physical humour - the tap of a friend on the opposite shoulder, tripping people up and catching them make them laugh. We laugh with them. Later I'll trick our guide, Iache, by pretending there is something on his shirt, and when he looks down, I tap his nose. He finds it hilarious, and later, after we have gone to bed, we hear the desert men laughing hilariously. The next day, I see them tap chests and noses with guffaws of laughter.
Let's delve into the rich, vivid images that the word 'feast' imparts. Write a creative personal story that reads like fiction using words related to 'feast'.
For this topic, there are several possible approaches. For example:
Tell us about it! And remember to integrate storytelling elements like characters, scene setting, dialogue and action to bring your story to life!
