  • I was skiing with my family and my sister fell and hurt her foot. We assumed it was broken and we were trying to comfort her but all she wanted was some fruit. My mom asked me to go to the ski resort café and get her a fruit tray with honey dew melon and oranges.

    So I went over into the café and asked for this fruit tray but the girl behind the counter had no idea what she was doing and there wasn’t enough fruit to make a fruit tray so I had to wait there while some more grew on the trees so she had enough.

    After the fruit was done growing she asked me again what I wanted on the tray and she eventually got enough fruit but it wasn’t just honey dew melon and oranges. There were strawberries and raspberries and blueberries and pineapple on it as well. I picked the tray up and was carrying it out of the café when I saw my ex boyfriend sitting on a stool by the window. We’re pretty good friends so when I passed him I lightly punched him in the shoulder.

    When I was pulling away from the punch he grabbed my hand and pulled me down so I was sitting in the stool beside his and the fruit tray was in between us. He reached out and put his hand on the side of my face and we had a silent conversation with our eyes. Then he leaned in a started to kiss me. Very roughly he pulled at my hair and I had to pull away because I didn’t understand what he was doing.

    He told me that he wanted me back and I agreed but I still had to get the fruit tray to my sister. When I went to pick it up I realized that it was almost all gone except for the honey dew melon and the oranges. I looked up to see him eating the last strawberry.

    We walked hand in hand out into the snow and put the fruit tray on the picnic table in the snow that my sister was sitting at. My mom scolded me and wondered why it took so long to get a tray of fruit and my ex boyfriend grabbed my hand and pulled me close and I smiled at my mom and she smiled at me.

    Then everyone disappeared but me and him and I closed my eyes and after he kissed me again I opened them and he was gone and I was alone in the snow.

      Psst. You put this in comments, instead of in the contest.

  • Why must it be a dream that I ACTUALLY had?
    What if I don't dream?
    What if, as is true, my dreams are my thoughts that have been made into stories?

    • It must be a dream you actually had because that is what this contest is about
      If you don't drem, then you woudnt have a dream to enter in my contest!
      If you have a story that is based on a true dream you can go ahead and enter it. But it MUST be based on a real dream! I have no idea whether or not it was an actual dream or not, but I decided to trust y'all

    I have a couple dream or dream-inspired stories already written. Can you make prewrites acceptable on your contest so we can enter those?

    A Waking Vision

    I have had a recurring vision while I was awake that I will never forget. I do interpret it because I understood exactly what it meant. It is only 262 words, but I wondered if I could enter this contest with it.
