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 Challenge"  will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck!

| "Don't go out there." The puppy sniffed the dog door and whimpered. What adventures it could experience if it went out there. Then the warning came again. Without hesitating, the puppy climbed through the doggy door to outside. A blast of cold air hit its face immediately and it whimpered. Still, it had business to do. The puppy climbed down the stairs and went to its favorite spot, all covered in snow. Then it did its business. The chills were getting too much, so the puppy dashed back toward the doggy door to the safety of the indoors. The warning was fair and square. It should never had wandered out there. The lady picked the lifeless puppy up from the ground on the top step and sighed. She had warned the puppy. Now it was too late. She took it in and then put on an electric heating blanket designed especially for dogs. Then she waited. The puppy started wagging its tail first. Delighted to see that it was working, she went to bring some water and food for the puppy. When the puppy woke up it smelled the food and went over to eat and drink. The warmth felt welcoming and never again did it want to use the doggy door for the rest of the night. Prompt: "Don't go out there." Word Count: 218 Contest: "Daily Flash Fiction Challenge" |

| 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." Prompt: Return of the 8' Giant Panda Dialogue Word Count: 450 Contest: "The Bard's Hall Contest" |
