Welcome, Germies, to this month’s writing challenge! This challenge will begin today and will end January 31st. However, you are welcome to come back anytime to complete the challenge and submit it below in the comments section. We will pick a few of our favorites that are submitted during this month, though, and they will be featured in our Lit section.
Writing Challenge:
— Write a short story based off of this picture by Natalie Chyi. There is no limit to how short it can be, but it can be no longer than 1,000 words.
• Who are the people in the photo? Are they in love, or are they family, friends, enemies, exes, strangers?
• Where are they? Why are they meeting here? Or is it by chance that they both came to this place?
