So I haven't hosted a contest in a while plus I have a ton of point to get rid of, so what better way? haha okay!
So for this contest I would like you to enter a sad story. I love reading sad stories, but not just any sad story! I want one that you think is one of your best!
Okay! These aren't rules, more of suggestions if you want to win!
I don't really like romance. You can enter it, but there might be a chance that you won't win.
I love stories that have to do with family. Enter one of those and your almost guaranteed a finalist place.
And lastly, this is just something I would like to know. I would like to know why you think it is one of your best stories. You don't have to do this, it's just more of a request. You might get brownie point if you do this though. 
Okay I guess that's it! I hope you enter!

why I think it is my best
hmm... a qualifier here - this is, in my view, my best SAD short story. I have another - Just Four Words, but this one is my favourite. Any chance to add the other? -
Just a suggestion for your next contest, maybe try any comment all the entries?
