I'm bored. So here's another contest. 
Options!
Ummm...Yeah. So original.
Well...here they are.
Option One: Write from a baby's point of view in a fire. Use detail. 
*it can be a fire from anywhere...a house, a campfire, a village...
Option Two: Write about the sound of a heartbeat. I love that sound, don't you? 
You can put this anywhere in your story, and I'd like for you to revolve (for a while) around it.
Option Three: Write about ice climbers being stuck on top of a mountain after their clumsiest member knocks off all of their stuff down the cliff. You can start it wherever you'd like--when they're climbing, before the climb, when they're stuck...
Option Four: Write a journal entry written by a psychotic mass-murderer. It can be multiple entries, if you'd like.
Option Five: Write from a fairy's point of view. The setting can be present-day, the future, the past. It can be fantasy-world, or our world. You can make the fairy evil or nice. Just write in the perspective of a fairy.
Option Six: Write about a teenager (13-15) years old who's pregnant. You can steer where ever you want to with this.
Option Seven: Write in the point of view of the sun, moon, sky, rainbow, or stars. You can pick which one you want to do, and you can do basically whatever you want to do with this.
Option Eight: Write about a Christmas where everything goes wrong. You can write about Santa and his elves, or just a plain family in distress.
Option Nine: Opposite of number eight. Write about a Christmas so perfect, it makes me want to seriously throw up in my seat.
Here's some pictures to get you going. You can use them as your prompt, use them with an option, or just get inspiration from it. It doesn't matter:

That's all you get. Now...before I forget...RULES. You know you like them.
1. Nothing over 10,000 words, please. Or else.
2. Nothing rated X. That'd be a bit...extreme there, Bob.
3. Cursing is fine. So is blood. And gore. And magical ponies named Bob.
4. Put your option number/picture in your Author's Notes, please. If you don't like putting stuff in you Author's Notes, then post a comment at the bottom of the page to tell me what options you chose.
5. I'm a nice judge. I let things slide past. So don't worry if you mess up on one single thing. Because I'm awesome like that.
I think that's it...Ummm...Yeah. Oh...if you want a prompt, ask me. Any prompt you want. Now go write. Points might go up.
