Beth was the inspiration for this post. On May 25th she said to give her a problem, and she’d write a book to solve it. So I thought, what a great idea. How many different stories can we get from this one problem?

He held the knife and watched in shock as blood oozed through his fingers and ran down his hand. Sirens pierce the night air. He had no where to run.

How does your MC get out of this? Did he kill someone? What happened?

Let us know. By leaving a story, however long or short, (but you must solve the problem) you enter in a drawing to win a pack of Uni-ball Pens!

Have fun and solve this! Entries accepted until Monday June 15 at 11:59 p.m.

*And sorry, at this time, we can only send prizes to the Continental US.

Well, this one was hard. So many great entries! We’d like to thank everyone who participated, and invite you to continue to share your work.

So, without further adieu…

JANETTE!!!

Here is her entry:

This is the last four paragraphs of the first chapter of my sci-fi.

A plateau came into view at the foot of the mountain range and Brad strained to manoeuvre the ship toward it. Beads of sweat dripped into his eyes, blurring his eyesight and making it difficult for him to judge the distance between the ground and the ship. As they approached the plateau, he lowered the nose of the ship slightly, allowing for gravity to do the rest. He clenched the controls as tight as he could, watching the advancing ground draw closer.

Impact threw loose canisters and debris all over the cargo bay, with the Commander being tossed around like a rag doll. Brad, still tightly strapped down, gripped his armrests, as he was thrown from one side of his seat to the other. Sparks from small explosions ripped through the controls in front of him. The sound of Speck’s frightened yells were barely audible over the blare of the ships emergency sirens, as the ship swayed from side to side. Thick black dust blocked the view from the cockpit, as the ship slid across the plateau and finally settled into one spot.

Everything was still. The silence only broken by a constant hissing sound coming from somewhere behind him. Brad listened to his heart beat as small pebbles and rocks pelted the hull of the ship. Dust particles found their way inside the ship and floated gently on the air currents.

His muscles were sore from the strain of controlling the throttle. His body felt heavy, and he was unable to move from exhaustion. Brad closed his eyes and rested his head on the back of his seat. Slowly the light that filtered through his eyelids began to fade as the hissing sound grew louder.

Janette, could you please email us you address so we can ship out the prize. The email address is to the right.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR A GREAT CONTEST!
