Ladies and Gentlemen, since we now have at least five contestants, I hereby declare this contest open! *Cuts ribbon like a good monarch*
The competition shall remain open for one week, and shall be closed on Monday 22nd May at 8 pm GMT, after which a poll shall be opened.
The topic for the first Helios Writing Competition shall be: Betrayal.
Other than that there are no restrictions. You can even try to make it funny if you want. There is a 1000 word maximum, yet no minimum, except that if it's too short there won't be much chance of you winning.
Please read the rules before submitting your entry, and please, use the spell check function on your word processor.
Good hunting!
