the last contest had such a good turnout! for the next one we will be having this and the following contest running at the same time.

here is the first prompt:

Write about a character who is living with a mental or terminal illness and the struggles they have to go through.

While writing your stories, PLEASE do not romanticize mental illness. (reminder given to me by the lovely MAndALaptop) Being someone and knowing many people who suffer from mental illnesses, this is especially important to remember.

RULES:

any genre

one part only

all entries must be in English

1000 words or less

comment the link or title HERE when you're finished.

due on September 7th at MIDNIGHT Eastern Time

you may enter both contests, but if you are using the same story you will need to comment your entry on both chapters.

the second prompt will be in the next chapter.
