Details

Gimme the most depressing poems or short stories you've got. Something that will make me cry like I just failed a test. No vampires. Or werewolves, for that matter.

As for genres, any genre is okay (like fiction/nonfiction); just keep it PG-13, please. Other than that, go for it!!

THE AFTERMATH: I just wanted to say that everyone did very well!! All pieces submitted were very reflective and for the most part well-written. And if you didn't place, don't lose hope!! Patience is a virtue, but persistence is as well.

Prizes

a collective feeling of sadness
