I Can Write A Story In Less Than 200 Words

5/9/07- Please do not write a poem. I already read one and that is not what I am looking for. A STORY only. If I disqualify you - I may not send a message -please don't be insulted. Been there many times!!

My first contest. This contest will end in three days. 200 words (must be no more than 220 or less than 180). Any story will do (except what I have specified in the rules below)

Rules:
No bashing GOD or anyone for that matter
no erotica - no curses - no gay/lesbian stories
no science fiction - just not my cup of tea
no dark stories, suicide, cutting, etc. - if you are involved in cutting or drugs, message me and I will pray for you. I mean it, been there, done that!
I love mystery and romance done tastefully
and I love historical stories
final rule - you must comment on one other story in my contest and put the name of it in your author box.

PS - only kidding @ final rule - you don't have to comment on another story - I hate that rule too!


I look forward to your stories!

    A little confused on the wording... so it has to be between 180 words and 220?
