1. 69 words or fewer

2. A setting

3. One or more characters

4. Some conflict

5. A resolution

6. A title, which is not counted as part of the 69-word total, but cannot be more than seven words in length

All contest submissions are due by Tuesday, October 11th at 5:00PM!

Contest winner and runner-up will win a wet n' wild prize!
