We've had one writing bounty here on JABC, and much as we loved your stories of sword and sorcery and Lovecraftian horror, we thought we'd take a more focused approach for our second.
Rather than the whole story, just write us the opening scene, and you have only one goal: make us absolutely desperate to know what happens next.
You can use any technique you wish, and write in any style or genre. Just make us all sad you didn't write more. Minimum word count: 300 words. The best five submissions get $5 apiece!
Task: Write the opening scene of a story, and make us want to know what happens next
Format: Original writing of at least 300 words
How to submit a written entry:
Hit the 'submit to this bounty' button just below this description - do not use the reply button unless you just want to comment on the thread, as replies will not be counted as entries!
Add a written response and feel free to include images.
Once the deadline closes, we’ll pick up to 5 submissions, award $5 to each of the winners, and may share them as curated content.
