Amaze Me!!!

This is my second contest. The first went well, but I decided I hate reading. In this contest I am looking for short stories. When I say short I don't mean anything under 2,000 words. Short in my dictionary means 400 words or less. You can write about what ever you want, my only request is that there is no fan fiction or stories about a story.

Rules~
MUST BE 400 WORDS OR LESS!!! (Don't make me count them)
No fan fiction!

That's about it.

Amaze me!

  • Final notes:
    Sorry it took so long to judge. I was sick over the weekend, not a great excuse but what ever. I enjoyed the enteries, sorry if I was too harsh, or if I did not comment. Everyone did well. Thanks to all that participated. I enjoyed all of the enteries.
