Art Prompt Writing Contest #7
@agsttne won my art contest, submitting the following photograph.
This writing contest requires original works of fiction using the photograph above as a story prompt. I am flexible on length, but the general ballpark is between 500 and 1000 words. If the judging becomes tight, however, I will take this into consideration.
My last writing contest was a struggle to judge, but I want this one to be even harder. The entries these contests have received are truly exceptional, generating some truly remarkable writing.
Once you have written your story in a Steemit post, link it in the comments below.
QUICK TIP: to improve your work and therefore your chances of winning, consider running your story through the fiction workshop at The Writers' Block.
There will be one overall winner who will get 20 SBD plus the SBD payout from this post. @sroka87, @geekgirl and @g-force1980 all donated 10 SBD to this prize fund. Therefore I will choose 3 runners-up who with each receive 10 SBD each.
This contest ends at 23:59 UTC/GMT on the 11th December.
Good luck everyone!

Here is my entry @gmuxx, just in the nick of time. It is called Reality in Retrospect. Thanks for the great prompt it really fired my imagination.
Thank you for your submission.
Done! And just in time, haha! I'm really sorry to have you reading in the last minute, @gmuxx, but I guarantee the extra time was put to good use.

I really had fun writing this piece, thank you for this opportunity.
Thank you for your submission.
Wow, an ominous image for this prompt. I can only imagine the dark routes these tales will take. Feeling post-apocalyptic anyone?
my thoughts exactly.
Yes, feels very dystopian to me. sigh no clue how I will find time this week....
Here's my entry: https://steemit.com/fiction/@jayna/welcome-to-reality-gmuxx-contest-entry.
Funny story: I wrote this as a 1500 word piece, because I was certain I saw that in the word count limit. Then I noticed in the description above that it is a 1000 word limit, so I cut out 500 words! THEN I looked at the reminder post and the word count there is listed as 1500.
All I can say is "thank you for stretching my skills as an editor!"
I am so sorry, it has always been between 500 and 1500. My mistake.
Thank you for your submission.
No worries. The story had a bit more flavor and more sinister details at 1500 words, but it’s tight as a drum at 1000. Also thank you for the two hour grace period! (Of course I may not have needed it if I didn’t have to kill off 500 helpless words.... 🤣)
This is my entry "Shot of reality" I have to admit that I borrowed the gif at the end of your post, The Writers' Block help me with this one! You all rock.
Thanks for the contest :)
Thank you for your submission.
Do I'm the First runner up ? :D
My first ever contest entry on steemit! I hope it is something worthwhile. It Was Only a Dream is my entry. Kind of a horror vibe. Hopefully you'll enjoy!
Thank you for your submission.
