My Dad asked me this question once: "What is the one thing in this world that you will NEVER let go of, even if you lose EVERYTHING ELSE you have?"
Now, how about you? What is the one thing in this world that you will NEVER let go of, even if you lose EVERYTHING ELSE you have?
I would like to know your answer. You may write whatever you want. Your choice, your style...
I would like to point out though: the answer to the question all depends on you. I judge according to how well you have written and how convincing the piece is. I may not agree with your answers, yet if I feel the trueness and the beauty of the piece...I will appreciate it.
Do your best.

P.S. Write as beautifully as can be.

I may contribute to this, although I'd rather write a story about it than just answer straight out. Very interesting idea.

Write any way you want.
The more creative, the more beautiful.

Wow. That is a loaded question.
I'm not sure if I could answer it... But I may try... -

Go ahead.
Give it a try.

Hey...
My story is a little different, but it still pertains to your contest theme "What I value most". If you give this a chance, you'll see what the character values most; his family.(: -

Sure.
You may write in any way you want, as long as it's under the contest theme.

In my story, Hunger, in case you can't figure it out, it would be a toss up between my babies and my conscience.

I'm sooooo sorry. Mine is long. I needed it to be read and I saw your contest and thought it was brilliant. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. Your dad is a wise man.
