《Contests》Forests (Closed/Judging)
Advertisement
Surely, forests have featured in adventure stories more than any other setting. Alternately quiet and peaceful, magical and mysterious, dark and forbidding, forests have loomed large in literature, music and art for hundreds of years.
This month we give you the opportunity to write your own short story inspired by one of the prompts below - all about forests.
"She ran off the path into the woods looking for flowers. Each time she picked one she thought that she could see an even more beautiful one a little way off, and she ran after it, going further and further into the woods..."
― Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Little Red Cap (1812)
"Save the elephants, and then you save the forest and then you save yourself."
― Mark Shand
"It was the forest's fault. Those two handsome woodcutters. An evil place, the forest, everyone knew it, full of temptations and imps..."
― Tanith Lee
"For you, it's all about money, money, money. But what about the forests I say? Some of those trees have been there for hundreds of years. What right have you to destroy that?"
― Emily Arden
"The Enchanted Wood loomed up big and dark. The trees spoke to one another softly. "Wisha, wisha, wisha," they said. "Wisha, wisha, wisha!"
― Enid Blyton, The Magic Faraway Tree (1943)
