Short Story Contest

On the penultimate night in Ohio before returning to KL, we had the epic short story contest.  There was boy meets girl (and gains confidence)(Tracy), the story of a boat and a lake (Carrie), a modern Bartelby stuck in a dying profession (Doug) and a dystopian tale of the animals who survived the apocalypse (Michael).  In the kids category, there was the discovery of a new world under our terrain (Laura),  a saga of dragons (Rania), the heroic tale of John Muir (Reeve) and the tale of a great escape (Gabi) in the kids contest.

It was a challenge to put together a story within the guidelines of the contest.  But a fun chance to dive into each other's literary interests.  After the contest, there was, of course, more yummy food and lots of good times together.

The writings were phenomenal! The children's stories were so good I thought they were in the adult category! Honest! G. J.
