: Take a Second and Come In! (Read it ALL or do not enter!)

Okay, guys. I know, I know, I am a freak because I have like eight contests or something going at all times. So what!? I just ended a contest. That means a have a right to open a new one!



So there! I can be mean!

Anyway, to get to the good part.

This contest is really pretty fun, and not too hard. What I want is ONE sentence. Just one. And the sentence that will win will have to be the one packed with the most emotion, feeling, everything. The deepest, most beautiful, rule following sentence. That one will win. 'Kay? BUT the sentence MUST meet the following standards!

1.) It can be as long as you want, but it is ONE sentence. I don't think this is that hard!

2.) It can be about ANYTHING you want, but it MUST contain TWO (or more) of the following words:

Forlorn
Kiss
Heaven
Love
Death
Murder
Hell
Thread
Pink
Snuggle
Friend
Twin
Pet
Excited
Eye
Sparkle
Hug
Mourn
Best
Apathy
Hate
Smile
Beam
Cry
Live
Laugh
Butterfly
Family
Angel
Valentine
Heart
Word
Silence
Speak
Voice
Feel
Sun
Stars
Romance
Rhyme
Time
Extraordinary
Young
Innocence
Starling
Harmony
Company
Extraordinary
Guardian
Blowing
Sparkle
Ready
Magazine
Caress


Okay! That's the list. ^.^ So you have to have TWO of those! PLUS::

3.) It can't be something stupid. What I want here is something completely deep. Something that makes me cry, or smile, or get that tingly feeling. This is one sentence people, make it matter.


That's it!

Rules:

A.) No adult categories: dark, adult, adult humor, erotica, et cetera.

B.) I don't like rules. But I'd appreciate it if you put your gender in your author's notes, and maybe why you entered my contest? Thanks!

C.) I don't know, but I thought three rules would make me more official! Make your your sentence meets the standards above!!

~ Enter as many times as suits you.
~ Points may go up.
~ Have fun!
~ More may be added the list, so you could think of entering now, and again later!

Thanks, guys!

xoxo
