Many apologies for the long wait, if you are waiting at all! We were having a hard time affirming the topic for this round, but here it is!

Prompt: Under the water. A story that happens in water. It doesn't have to be necessarily the sea! Leash out your imagination!

Words: 400-2200. Please state the word count of your story! Also, we have come to decide that the word count will always be 400-2200, unless if it's a poem or such, or we change our mind. 50 more or less would still be acceptable.

Deadline: August 27, Saturday at 05:00 AM in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+0). For now, the deadline is longer because I am dead busy with school, and I'm afraid I can't read and grade your stories in time if the deadline is in two weeks (let's just say these two weeks are quiz weeks).

Anyway, if you have submitted the entry, make sure to tag us in your story and, to be sure, comment either here or the drawing room!

Don't hesitate to ask us any question you have!
