The La Viness Short Story Contest

I found a new contest that I hope you'll enjoy! It's the annual La Viness Short Story Contest. It works like this. The creator gives you two words to give you an idea for the story. In this case, it's butter and fly. You can combine 'butter' and 'fly' (butterfly) or keep them separate. Let your imagination go wild and think outside of the box. Good luck! Info about the contest follows.



THIRD ANNUAL
La Viness Short Story Writing Contest
2021
Hosted by Renee' La Viness.

point(s) of the story, but they should be
