First competition for me! I really enjoyed it, it ended up being such a busy weekend and I had to completely scrap my first go but hopefully this one is okay! (The title and synopsis aren't great, I ran out of time, of course). I'm excited to read everyone else's stories!

GROUP: 79

SCARE: Personal space

ACTION: Retaliating

CHARACTER: A surveyor


Home

 

A surveyor walks into a forest ready to do whatever it takes to make his deal. But will the price be too high?

Hi! And welcome to the vintage, 1990s-tech, NYCM forum! We are in the same group. I hope to read your story when (if) you post it on the Master List. Hint...the link has already been made live in the forum.

I hope you had fun and have 2nd and 3rd rounds in your future!

If you give yourself to someone, do you then become theirs to give?



Hello groupmate!
Here is mine. Looking forward to reading yours if you post!

Through the Air

A plea spoken into the void becomes a refuge in the darkness. A flutist’s melody is the bridge between the cold solitude of space and the undying hope of a memory.
Hey groupmate! look forward to reading yours. So creepy!

Nice to meet you, fellow Group 26-er! Can't wait to post it and read yours and others as well!

Looks like there are four of us at least active now in this chat stream. I see the Master List is open. Hope to read y'all there.

Hi there! Haha, thanks for the warm welcome back to the 1990s! I read your story; loved it! Well done! Those word prompts really threw me for a loop for a while but I posted it on the master list. Good luck!  (Also, sorry if I'm not responding in the correct section; this forum is also apparently throwing me for a loop.)

Hi! I'm in the same situation; 39 and last competition was grade school too. Always good to challenge yourself- and as you said, better late than never. Looking forward to reading your story if you decide to post! Good luck either way!

The scare made it difficult too, for sure! LOL I will be posting the story when I can, so I hope I can get your expert critique then.
