VALENTINE’S DAY IN PARIS

THE FIRST ANNUAL PRETTY MUCH WORLD FAMOUS VALENTINY WRITING CONTEST!!!

Valen-tiny because the stories are not very long and are written for little people :)

The Contest:  since writing for children is all about “big emotion for little people” (I forget who said that, but someone did so I put it in quotes!) and Valentines Day is all about emotion, write a Valentines story appropriate for children (children here defined as ages 12 and under) maximum 214 words in which someone is grumpy!  Your story can be poetry or prose, sweet, funny, surprising or anything in between, but it will only count for the contest if it includes someone grumpy (can be the main character but doesn’t have to be) and is 214 words max (get it? 2/14 for Valentines Day :)  You can go under the word count but not over! Title is not included in the word count.  No illustration notes please!

Post your story on your blog between right now this very second and Friday February 12th by 11:59 PM EDT and add your post-specific link to the list below on @http://susannahill.blogspot.ug/

VALENTINE’S DAY IN PARIS

Jakey got up early in the morning, surprisingly; he found an email from her long time girlfriend Jane.
Saying, "You will be travelling to Paris...Please contact Sue for your ticket details".


Not many will ever understand when they see Jakey’s picture in newspapers with boxers only jumping to this great news...The joy of going to Paris... It was like Super Mario’s journey to save her girlfriend. Though still confused on whether to call for a press conference and announce the good news. So, he called a friend to help with one trouser-it was short but he was ready to pass off as a Muslim cleric.

So after packing and dressing up the time to be picked came. How do I explain this moment when he opened the gate to enter the taxi. He felt like The Late Mandela leaving Rhodes Island prison after 27 years only that in his case, there was no crowd to welcome him but a mean cab guy waiting for him.
You know what cut Jakey short of his joy; he received an email again from Jane. The email was saying the flight had been cancelled due to unavoidable circumstances. Jakey slammed the taxi door, hit the phone so hard on the ground and left unhappy back to his apartment.

Below is my Halloween story (99 Words)

                      "THE DARKEST EXTREME EDGE"

Down on the darkest street near our house, I could hear the sound of wind oozing through my ear as I walked down the street dressed fully in my Dracula vampire Halloween costume. I could hear sounds that were haunting like the street was haunted by ghosts. Deep inside my heart I was filled with fear that I could barely move. As I had reached at the extreme edge of the street, I heard someone whisper that I took off like a flash of lightening. Trembled like Chuck (the one in Child’s play) I had touched on my shoulder.
