Hello everybody!!! So, I've seen some really good contests around here, like this one by @vempromundo, or this one by @caluman. There are some others around and I feel that's a good way to engage with different people, and also can help many that don't have ideia of what to post. So with this in mind, I also decided to make a contest! But what could I do...
Most of my posts are stories from my life, and I really like to tell them. And it hit me: A STORYTELLING CONTEST!!! But how it will work? I'll tell you right now!
Every week I'll start a story, and you have to finish it. You can add as many characters as you want, can take the story any way, can add that marvelous plot twist to blow our minds! You just have to follow this rules to participate:
- The post must be from the POB front-end
- You have to write at least 300 words
- You have to quote the beginning of the story in your post (so people can understand the story)
- You have to use the tag #pob-stc or #pob-storytelling
The winners will be chosen by me, with the following criteria:
Following all rules
Creativity
Flow of the narrative
Overall structure of the story
Commenting on the other contestants
The first prize will be 100 POB, second 75 POB and third 50 POB. It's not a lot, but I think is a good start. If this get a lot of entries, I'll raise the prizes for next week!
So, without any further due, here is the story!
I've never been a popular kid. I'm what you can call average: Not so many talents, but not completely worthless. I go to school everyday, I take all my classes, and I get out of school around 6PM. My days are boring as they can be, it's like I'm on a loop program for some boring video game. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just a second character in someone's game. Yeah, that's probably it. Someone must be having a lot of fun right now, while I'm just doing things over and over again. While I was cursing my own life, going to the bus, I notice that a group of kids were on the other side of the street, all looking at something on the floor. Normally I wouldn't care about this, but all the cool kids were there, and from the look on their faces, it didn't seem like they were making fun of anyone, nor they were boasting the new shoes they got. They faces looked like a distortion, something unnatural, something really extraordinary. So my eyes went down to what they were looking at. And never in my wild dreams I thought I would...
Now it's up to you!!! Keep the story going, and have a lot of fun!!!!
I hope you like this ideia! Next week I'm think about something more sci-fi, or maybe a good old dream world. Who knows? You have to check it out!
And because this is my first ever contest, I'm open for ideias!
Thanks for reading until here!!! See you soon!
Keep posting and keep shining!
