For this contest, I want stories with excellent voice (authorial tone, personality, etc). Tell me a story in a way that's unique, interesting, and unforgetable.
Rules:
1) All genres welcome, though please keep erotic and violence to a minimum. Here, it's how you tell the story, not what you tell.
2) Try to keep your story under 2,500 words.
3) Make sure your voice is strong and original. I have no problem with removing stories that obviously do not have a well-developed voice.
If anything needs clarifying, feel free to message me or post a comment.
Now, get out there and show me what a real story-teller sounds like!
