Wordless Wonders Writing Contest
Theme: Let your creativity speak volumes without saying a word. In this contest, the challenge is to tell a complete and captivating story using only dialogue and internal thoughts—no descriptions allowed!

It's all about the power of words and the subtle nuances they can bring to a story.
Guidelines:
# The story must be told entirely through dialogue and internal thoughts.# No descriptive paragraphs allowed! All settings, actions, and character emotions should be revealed through what characters say and think.# Maximum word count: 1,500 words.Can you build an entire world without describing it? Can you make your readers feel the tension, excitement, or sadness without using a single adjective or scene description? Let your words do the magic.

Challenge: The goal is to stay true to the essence of the original story while injecting it with a fresh, new genre. How does the setting change? How do the characters evolve in this new world? How will you use the rules of your chosen genre to transform the narrative? From fantastical settings to eerie atmospheres, the possibilities are endless.
Requirements:
~ Choose a classic fairytale, myth, or folklore, and give it a completely new genre.~ The original core elements (characters, plot twists, or themes) should still shine through, but make it unique with your genre.~ Maximum word count: 2,000 words.~ Have fun with the genre transformation while keeping the heart of the original story intact.
