This is a Rogue Writers Contest. "CHRISTMAS" [CHR2018]

[Image: Merry-Christmas-Card-with-Santa-Keep-Cal...4%5Bekm%5D.jpg]


You are tasked with writing a Short Story in 50 Words or Less!!! which relates to or contains the theme "Christmas".

The Contest is Open to ALL MEMBERS of Rogue Nation, and...

The Rules are simple:

Write an ORIGINAL short Story using 50 words or less.
Post it in it's own thread within the Rogue Writers Contest Forum HERE.
Include [CHR2018] in the Title (so we know it's an official entry) -
e.g. "A Christmas Nightmare [CHR2018]"

Then add a link (back to your story post) within this contest thread.

Easy Peasy? NOPE! Try It and You'll See!!! (The 50 word limit is a KILLER!)

Your story can be Fiction or Non-Fiction, Funny, Serious, Crazy, Bitchy, Traditional, Futuristic, Sweet, Nutty as a Fruitcake or anything else that you can think of that doesn't breach Rogue Nation T&C's!

PRIZES:
There is only ONE PRIZE!!!
The contest will be judged by our SUPER SECRET CONTEST JUDGING PANEL and the Winner will receive the temporary honorary title of:

50 WORD WIZARD!

Until some other young upstart comes along and steals your crown at the next 50 word writers contest!

I am happy to answer any questions relating to this contest and any gratuitous bribes should (of course) be sent to the usual off-shore account in the name of C.ASH.

GOOD LUCK and HAVE SOME FUN!

The Contest Will Run For A Couple of Weeks or so... BAH HUMBUG to you all!
