Travel

I want you to write me a fun story about traveling. Anywhere, anytime, anything...well not anything. Rules below (=

.:1:. No sex/erotica

.:2:. No demons, horror, dark, etc

.:3:. No bashing unless its a character chocie and make sure its clear that its not the authors

.:4:. Please don't swear using Jesus' name. I know its a random rule to you but its just a little pet peeve for me so bear with me

.:5:. Prewrites are allowed if you have something you think is perfect for the contest but I'd love if you wrote something new

.:6:. Try to make it interesting and fun and exciting but not immature or melodramtic...slightly unreal is ok but mostly realistic is best. Try to write it so I feel as if I'm in the world of the character

.:7:. 5,000 words or less unless you really get into it if its longer I don't guarantee that I'll read the whole thing

.:8:. MOST IMPORTANT!!!! Dialogue and paragraphs need to be spaced! Format them like this

"I love you, but I'm not in love with you."

"Where's my gun?"

"I mean I love you more as a lover than a friend!"

"Where's that ring?"

etc

I feel like traveling now and this is a cheap way to do it Have fun!

  Hey, dig this comp. It ROCKS!!

  I have many a story to put into this contest, the only thing I would say about the rules is that the one about the spacing is a little unusual. I'm sure there's a reason for that rule, but all the same......anyway, hope you enjoy my story!
