The Storyline For The First Stage Of The Competition

You're a doctor and a seasoned surgeon. Your fiancé/fiancée has just been involved in an accident and is brought to your hospital for emergency treatment.

You're the best person to perform the surgery that might save the life of your loved one, however, you can't because you become emotionally unstable and there's a rule against treating loved ones and family members.

The surgery goes on and your loved one doesn't make it out alive. These events happen in your very eyes and you can't do anything to help.

Write a story from the doctor's perspective and how the events unfold.

The gender of the doctor is entirely up to you.



Candidates are given until 6pm Monday evening to turn in their stories.

The total words for this stage should be 1000 words



Candidates are to turn in their write-ups to the email address Chikerelance@gmail.com. These stories would be posted here accordingly by Wednesday.

The title of the email should be Stars 2017 Writing Competition with your monikers.

Candidates are advised to write in a clear and simple language. Their works should be proofread and edited carefully before sending as changes and modifications would not be allowed.




NOTE!!

Candidates are not to post their stories on this thread any longer! Please take note!

Every story should be posted to the given email address.




**IMPORTANT**

It takes little drops of water to fill an ocean.

I want to thank Lleigh for her support and her contribution to sponsor the competition.

Shout out to Lleigh!

The prizes for the competition has been revised.

The winner of the competition now goes home with = N10,000

The second placed winner = N7,000

There would be a bonus prize for the fourth (4) placed winner.

The remaining three writers who emerge from the first stage would be given airtime gifts.

Boss, please I have a question: Some of your writers will be typing and sending directly from their phones because I am not sure everyone has a laptop. What if they type it on their phones and when they send it to you, the paragraphing scatters/disarranges because you use laptop while they use phones? Do you understand my question? Will it affect the person in anyway? Or you did something to take care of that?

Meneski. I wouldn't know if you edited your post and added your name.

I checked and I can see your comment on the other thread, but I'm not sure you made the rest of that comment before the deadline. I don't remember seeing the rest of your comment as at that time.

Btw, I don't know you and I don't know why I would single you out just to "wicked" you.

This is your comment on the other thread

meneski:
grin if amature writers are allowed then count me in. *switchs on high moral mode* am here for d first cash and its mine *switchs off high moral mode* i just hope i come third. grin meneski #stars competition

If I can recall, this is the only comment that was there at that time

meneski:
grin if amature writers are allowed then count me in.

You didn't include the required comment.

However, if you can convince me otherwise, please do and you'd be considered.

Thanks
