On the Premises, a web-based fiction magazine current contest #21
http://www.onthepremises.com/current_contest.htmlIts premise is: “INSTRUCTIONS”
A set of instructions, or just one instruction, must be an important element of your story. The instruction(s) can be written, spoken, or transmitted in any other way you can make believable.
You may be asking yourself: Do the instructions have to be followed correctly? Do they have to be understood? Do they have to be... and what about... and what if...
All of that is up to you.
Any genre except children’s fiction, exploitative sex, or over-the-top gross-out horror is fine.
Your challenge: In at least 1,000 but no more than 5,000 words, write a creative, compelling, and well-crafted story that clearly uses the premise. If you have questions, ask us at Questions@OnThePremises.com .
Deadline: 11:59 PM Eastern Time, Friday, September 27, 2013.
