In this contest you are asked to write a 1000 word, or less, story with a hint of mystery to it. Your story can be about anything as long as it draws in the judges and makes them want to know more. It doesn’t have to be a murder whodunit, but something as simple as a lost shoe or the answer to a question. Have fun!
