The challenge of this contest is to tell a story in just 1,000 words.
Theme: "After you’ve climbed a mountain, you still have to come down again."
Interpret at will; you can use the prompt literally, morally, linguistically, or metaphorically. We highly encourage creativity and using the prompt in unique ways!
You can use the exact line in your piece if you wish to, but it is not required.
Deadline: April 20th
Length
Your story should be as close to 1,000 words as possible, but we will accept within 50 words of 1,000. Thus, you story needs to be between 950 and 1,050 words to be accepted.
