Just that! I'm really a lover of darker themes like these...Whether it is a short story or poem, I want to hear the heartfelt cry of someone who is battling between life and death.

I don't like judging by like counts because people who have more followers/post earlier will have an advantage, so it will unfortunately be my subjective judging. Feel free to comment on entries that you like best, and I'll take that into account, too!

Have fun! Pour your heart out. It doesn't have to strictly be about you or is non-fictional. I wrote a "sample" entry in my style so you can have some ideas (it won't be considered in the contest). Try to keep things within 1000 words, since it is a flash contest.Winner gets 50% bounty, runner up 30% and second runner up 20%.

Imagine you're dying. Right now. You've only got, what, 20 minutes left.You might be alone or surrounded by people.

It might be hard to imagine... but... what are you thinking about?Have you ever had an experience where you thought, "Oh, I might be screwed,"?In that moment, do you want to live? Are you scared? Or do you gladly accept your fate?Who do you think about?Are you thinking about the things you regret doing?Or the things you regret not doing?Is your life flashing through your eyes? What are the key moments?

It doesn't have to be a true story.First place will be awarded 70% of the bounty, second place 20%, third, 10% - chosen by me.It's a bit of a depressing prompt, so I'm not expecting too many entries, but I'm curious of what everyone will come up with.

I'm looking for a heartfelt narrative that comes off as honest and raw.Like Ai's final words from Oshi no Ko~I might participate for fun, but will not consider myself as a competitor.

Ever wanted to try out a dating app but without the dating part? Well, here it is!Create your own profile, comment and like on others!I'll pick the one that makes me laugh/is most interesting; I'd pick community vote if I could as the judging method but it would give people with more followers an unfair advantage.Here are the basic parts of a profile (feel free to include more things)- A catchphrase describing yourself- Age, ethnicity- Your hobbies- Why you would be a good friend- What you're looking for in a friend- Any special skills you have?You can see my post as a reference!

2.「偶然，我抬頭一看，發現嫩葉長出來了。原來我們忽略了不少日常生活中的美好。」

以上描述中「原來我們忽略了不少日常生活中的美好」，引發了你怎樣的聯想或思考？試結合生活，創作故事一篇，表達你的想法。
