The thought is simple:
Your story must begin with someone tied up in the middle of a room, on a chair or in the floor.
The story must stay within a ten-foot radius of that room, preferably within it.
(Strange, I know. Here's the back story - I'm working on a short musical for my high school, and am experimenting with ideas. An image that crossed my mind was the lights coming up on someone tied to a chair an a bare stage. I though that'd be ridiculous and predictable, but then I got to thinking...I wonder what people could extrapolate from that image. Thus, the contest.)
It doesn't have to be realistic - and by that I mean, it doesn't have to be something plausible like a kidnapping - but I would prefer that it involved people and not unicorns or something fantastic.
Your writing must be intelligent, and any language or erotic content used for a purpose.
I would prefer only STORIES, and I would prefer that you didn't submit Prewrites, but I'll look over anything you have to offer. There is no word limit.
Have fun!
(If I go with that thought for my musical and get inspiration from any one of you, I do promise to give credit where credit is due and ask your permission before including anything your submission sparked.)
*Just so everyone knows, if I don't get at leat eight or so entries, I'm closing the contest. It's pointless to give out 1, 2, and 3 places when there are 4 or 5 entries, and a wast of points.

I know, it's a prewrite, but it is by far one of my best stories I have ever written. Plus, you wanted someone to be tied up and my prewrite fit that! So, I hope you enjoy it!

Lol, it's fine, I was just concerned that people would submit one of those shifty prewrites that kind-of sort-of fit the prompt. Yours works, though, so it's all good!

I'm going to try to write something for this, cause it is something I think I would enjoy, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna have time with classes starting Tuesday.

What about a script for a comedy sketch?

Most definitely! Honestly, I would've asked for scripts straight up if I thought anyone would enter.

Lol.
I was going to enter something for this, but it's not really...how should I put it..um... sutible for general showing on a stage xD
Ah well.
Good luck with the musical. -
