April 2018 Flash Contest - The Premise
The Old Flame
A Fantasy/Horror Fiction Writing Contest.
The Premise:
She was awkward and unattractive in high school. The guys ridiculed her as she walked by them. The popular girls teased her unmercifully each and every day of her high school experience.
And then years later, something happened...
She had a car wreck that sent her through the windshield, making her a candidate for a new type of plastic surgery. Six months later, she...was...gorgeous.
She took dance lessons to acquire poise and posture, new sexy clothes and plenty of disposable cash thanks to the lawsuit from the car accident.
And now a story of revenge.
Bitterness can be a motivating factor for some and she wanted to get even with the people who made her suffer.
Start the story with her quest for revenge. Create a single character as the object of her vengeful fixation and end the story with her setting fire to their place of residence.
The look, the feel and the plot of this contest theme is in your hands.
The Rules:
01. Stories submitted must be under 1,000 words.
02. No "overt" sex, violent acts or foul language. Keep events subtle (making use of clever and indirect methods to achieve your plot and story).
03. No images allowed in story submission.
04. Feel free to comment on the stories and writing topics in general throughout the story writing and voting time periods.
05. If you have something unfavorable to say about a story, make it constructive, so the author can benefit from your viewpoint and insight.
06. Never speak negative about the authors themselves.
