Pack a punch!!

This is my second contest. My first contest(http://storywrite.com/contest/6246) is pretty much doomed. Even that dirty betrayer, my inner voice has left me on the face of my failure. So here's what I do to bring him back. I make another contest. Owing to the experiences gained from my previous contest, I'm allowing prewrites this time. Here's the deal.

You are gonna give me your best story in less than 900 words. I'll allow upto 1000. If you're gonna write a new one, I'm ready to prompt you. Just give me your best story.

Now, Rules:
> No erotica/gay/les/bi
> No vamp/were/fanfic
> Should absolutely *not* exceed 1000 words.
> I'll try to comment on every entry.

  • Final notes:
    I guess It's time I apologize to you StoryWriters... In a fabulous Twist of Fate, My life has become very hectic; let me stress the word very. All the entries were beautiful and and I really enjoyed reading them. But due to my hectic schedule I've not been able to read all the entries. But, I've commented on all the entries I've read. For those I've not read: Sorry guys... I'm sure your entry could have very well altered the judgment, but I take all the blame. Trying to patch up, I've given a trophy to all the entrants. But don't think the trophies are just a show. Those are your best stories and they truly deserve a trophy. So, Hope you guys understand my situation. My taste and your taste may differ. So, if the order is erratic, please bear with me. Gotta go!! The train to Destiny whistles for the final time. Don't wanna miss it. So, Bye!!
