Most entries are going to be E rated but some may go beyond that.
You just want to read? These entries will be freshly written for a contest. Since I plan on joining many then I'm putting them all in a book. Sit back and enjoy it. I'll try to do a (poem) line count, (story) word count, prompt, and which contest I entered in. Though I won't be mentioning it in the piece, but "The Contest ChallengeOpen in new Window. will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck!

Take me back! The store treated me much kinder than this boy here did in a few days.

"I see you're a stuffed eight foot tall giant panda that had been sold at this store. Normally we have a no return policy on toys and there is no receipt so I can't just take you back in."

You see, I got an ouchie on my arm where that boy kept on tugging on my arm like I was a rag doll. I can't stand being treated like a rag doll mind you. This is an emergency. If I go back, I would become nothing but a pile of stuffing. I can show you where this ouchie on my arm is if you like. Please take me back!

"I see that you are in used condition which would make returning you even more impossible. Looks like there is stuffing coming out of the right arm. I will have to be sure that you are sold in the store before even making a consideration of a return. The manager would have to override the system. I've never seen such a large animal sold at this store before."

Yes, do anything for me to return to the store. Anything would be better than being stuck back at that boy's house again. I would be glad to get out of there. Oh, by the way did I tell you the real reason he started to get all angry with me? It's because I am only eight feet tall and he wanted 16 feet tall. He sure trashed me as can be because of it. Lucky for me I didn't fit in the garbage can no matter how much he tried. I do have feelings of course and I'm hurt that he didn't want me right off the bat. But then the abusive behavior he displayed to me just proved I didn't want to be with him right back. I wonder how his other toys survived his abusive behavior. Tugging me at both ends until I rip apart and such. Then claiming I was his worst holiday present ever. This New Year will end great if I could just be returned pleased. Go against your no return policy without a receipt. Call for your manager to check. I was bought at this store not too long ago. Maybe a couple weeks at the most.

"I'm sorry for your inconvenience, but I'm working my best to do what needs to be done. I see you still have your tags on in excellent shape. That will make the job easier in case the manager does decide to override the system and accept you back into the store."
