LITERARY OUTBREAK: Save Or Die One Shot Writing Contest

Volume 2: Lost Boys

VOLUME 2: LOST BOYS

You've been able to see through the perspective of a teenage girl. You either saved yourself from falling below the yellow line or you almost died trying. But still, there is still another chance for you to go through this game, and it's only about going up or going down. Which will you choose?

Every round is a challenge. Every round is one feet down the grave. You are the only one who can save yourself. And it's not an option to be "lost."

Look into the eyes of teenage boys. Every boy has his own inner darkest self, and you need to embody this persona in this round. See through them, and create a world that will appeal to them. We all have a negative side that we may want to suppress or overcome us. In order to win, you need to embrace the side that slowly eats you... and then destroy it. Are you ready to create a tale that caters to teenage boys? Are you ready to be a lost one? Or will this be the end for you?
You decide.

Break a leg, Saviours! This is the only way to save us this time.
