Hey everyone! Remember, dead line is one week! So the entries must be in by seven days.
Here are your guidelines for the story you have to write!

Theme: Fear/Insanity. Your character must show signs of humanities weakness; fear. Or, they can simply go insane progressively. If you do pick insanity attempt to make it believable. Unless of course you’re going for humour, which is completely allowed.

Location: A jail/torture house. It may be abandoned and from any time period. Although, a majority of the story must take place in it. The dream thing is also permitted, yet remember to carefully use that idea.

Item: There is no set item for this round.

Also, PLEASE try and get these in on time. I cannot stress enough how much I don’t want to kick people out just because they didn’t meet the deadline. Where’s the fun in that?

The Rules/Notes:
Only one entry per person
It must relate to the genre/scenario given
You cannot bash other people’s work, although, you are free to give them advice.
The deadline is always one week, if an entry is given in late there are no exceptions.
Minimum length of a story is one page. If you cannot paste it into word to check a page is around 4-5 paragraphs.
Maximum length is 40 paragraphs.
No cheating, as in, copying other people’s work.
If you’re kicked out for breaking a rule, no complaining. :>

Giraffe’s helpful grammar tips!

Their:
Their can be replaced with the word ‘our’ and still make sense. [Their food=Our food.] It is to show possession.

They’re:
Short form of ‘They are.’

There:
A location, can be replaced with ‘here.’ [There it is=Here it is]

Apostrophes:
Used to show a missing letter. [Don’t]
Used to show possession. [Mark’s book.]
When faced with a letter that already ends with S just use an apostrophe. [James’ book.]
Can also be used as quotation marks.

Commas:
Used to show a short break in a sentence. Do not place these where you take a breath. Long sentences can be left alone without commas. Leave a space after placing a comma.

Dialogue:
Capitalize after doing a word of dialogue.
“Hello” He said
Each character gets their own line.
Birds flew off.
“Hello birds” Mark said. “You look beautiful today.”
“Shut up” Jenny responded

It’s and its:
Unlike other words you use ‘It’s’ ONLY when you mean ‘It is’ [It’s time to go]
Its is possession, for some reason. [Its book.]

You’re and your:
You’re is a short form of You are.
Your is, again, possessive. [Your book]

I still don't get the fact that words after someone talks is automatically capitalized. I just checked in a few books and none of them do it like you described.

I'm homeschooled :3 and my mom is big on grammar. English is her second language, yet she knows more than a lot of Americans do. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

My school's a piece of crap.

I had to learn off some of the classics.


Oh yea, and another rule. You can only put apostrophes and count them as a possessive with names. Other pronouns do not count. AT ALL.

"Its legs."

"Joe's legs."

I'm probably going to take a little longer with this story than the last, to make sure it's better than the one before. I made so many mistakes in it D:

My school teaches us in a decent enough manner. The problem is that the majority of people are too busy drawing, chewing gum, or whispering.

And also, my school tries to force everybody into honors just to get a good reputation. For my upcoming school ye.ar I was reccommended for all honors classes, and they wouldn't let me change that until two days before the last day of school, and even then my mother had to call the school herself to change the schedule.

/sigh
