Hey everyone! I'm going to try my luck at creating a Storytelling Contest. The rules are just the same as the contest on Neopets. I will start off a story and you have to write the next paragraph until the story finishes. There will be 10 sections including mine and I will probably post the winning paragraph sometime tomorrow and the concluding paragraph the next day and so on.
[glow=red,2,300]Please send your entries to garnet_desire@hotmail.com and I will choose the winning paragraph. Make sure you put your username or name that you use on the forum so I know who to credit. Thanks![/glow]
[glow=blue,2,300]I would also like to stress that this contest is purely for fun. There will be no prizes.[/glow]
Here's the story.
Caila the red Ixi was bored in her room. It was pouring down with rain and a flash of lightning illuminated the sky. It had been thundering non-stop and by now it didn't excite her anymore. She hopped downstairs and into the kitchen where her mom was cooking the tea.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"What do you think?" snapped Caila. "It's raining and I can't go outside in that!"
"Why don't you help me cook the tea then?" asked her mom.
"No way! How boring would that be?!"
After searching throughout the house for something to do, she decided that the only thing worth doing was sitting back on her bed watching the storm pass. As she clambered onto the bed and looked out of her window her heart skipped a beat. A bright flash of purple lightning blinded her eyes as she looked at the mountains in the distance.
"What the heck is that?!" she yelled aloud. The brightness was now beginning to subside but it seemed clear that whatever had just occured wasn't normal.
With a shaky paw, she opened her bedroom window and clambered outside...
