The challenge is this! Write the best first chapter for a story!

The winner will receive a 50,000 crystal reward, and the recognition of their extract being featured in the next issue.

Your entry will be judged on the following, in order of importance:

• It must be your own work, completely original.
• Content - it must be interesting, and something that has potential to continue on to be a great story.
• Quality of writing.

Furthermore, to emphasise quality over quantity, there is an informal word limit of 500 words. Slightly over is acceptable, but not too long please! Make every word count!

Deadline is 25th September! Late entries may not be considered!

Other notable entries will receive a 10,000 consolation prize.

Forgotten 

 

Bright sunny day, fresh smell of air and chattering birds. A perfect day for taking a walk.Lisa takes the long route. This is her absolute favorite place for a Sunday walk.  Summer homes along the river bank give it a cozy feel. The river brings peace and calm to her soul, a respite from the daily grind.  She lets her mind wander as she walks,  one thought leading to the next going nowhere in particular. The soft clump of her sneakers on the pavement provides familiar comfort.

 

Then—a loud flick of a branch to her right surprises her.  Looking over, she expects to see an animal. No movement, and she continues on.

 

Another snapping  of branches, the crunching of leaves and a crackling noise come from the right.  Lisa begins to walk faster, imagining an animal, or maybe someone hidden in the bushes. The crackling stops.  Now she hears voices, and they are coming from down toward the river. She stops walking and listens. The first voice is rough and deep, with a hint of an accent.

 

“Hey, put it down here and cover it . Make sure it’s covered well enough.  No, not there, over here.”

 

There is no response from whoever he is speaking to. Then she hears a diffident voice.

 

“It’s too heavy to push over there.  Let’s just cover it here and leave it.” This one has a hoarse, cigarette-smoking voice.

 

“Nah, can’t do that. Gotta get it out of here.  It’s gotta go with the rest, into the truck. Come on, don’t be lazy, help me out here.” She hears grunts and groans and lots of rustling. Curious, she moves closer to the edge through a small space between trees, where she can just catch a glimpse of happenings. 

 

What she sees freezes her.

 

Three big a men, pushing at a mound of something, she can’t see what.  The men are too close together for her to see through them.

 

“Move!” She silently says to herself.

 

As if they had heard her, they step aside for a moment. Then she can see part of something big and long being rolled up.

 

She backs away. What on earth has she just seen?  What are they trying to get rid of, way down by the river?  She wants to get a better look, but fear has her wavering. Should she walk away or stay and look closer? Her sensible side says to get out of there now!  But curiosity is a strong force. She gets even closer to the edge, holding on to a branch so she can get a better look.

 

Just past where the men are gathered she sees the back end of a small truck, parked along a dirt road that leads down toward the river bank. She had no idea that the road even existed.

 

One of the men glances up her way.  Fear seizes her. She jumps back and starts walking away, inwardly cursing herself for being so stupid.

[Remaine 4,687]

 

It was a dark, cold and shadowy night. My friends and I were walking down the street. The city was pitch-black, with the only serviceable light source being the full moon. I was walking with Robert and Boris which at times posed an inexorable dilemma - they were covered within the night. I was well out of breath, to such an extent that I was trudging down the grotesque street. It's infuriating because it was never like this before. The town of Bymist was highly revered for being as clean as a whistle, but it appears it's been debased by today's youth.

 

"Anton, speed up the pace!" said Robert vehemently. He's known for a while that I've been at a disadvantage when it comes to walking. You see, I'm a big lad; I'm not really a fan of exercise or anything that involves excessive movement. Due to that, I never really had a great childhood. My stature was a comedic gold mine. For years, I tried to whittle away at the pounds but it always amounted to nothing. That's why, given that Robert and I have known each other for decades that he would acknowledge this and slow down for me. However, it seemed like it was too much to ask.

 

"HURRY UP!" Robert then screamed. "If you don't speed up the pace, I'm leaving without you!" After hearing that boisterous voice, it became apparent that my unhurried demeanour was a problem here. "Leave him alone, Robert!" Boris then said in a venture to stick up for me. "Fine then!" Robert finally replied. "I really can't stay here; I'm out!" At this point, it was certain that Robert was very much perturbed and it was down to Boris and I to get to the root of the problem. "What's the matter?!" Boris asked, clearly proving our thought patterns were similar just then. Robert just ignored him, however; he wasn't prepared to give anything away.

 

"Come on, we're your friends!" I aid, more enthusiastic than I'd been in a while. "Please stop!" barked Robert. "I don't want you to be affiliated in anyway!" By then, I was able to break it down; I had concluded someone else was involved. "Who is it?" I said in a straight tone. "Who is troubling you?" By the expression that beamed off Robert's face, it appeared that I was right. "I've said too much, I've got to go!" he then replied, before quickly storming off. Verily someone was bothering him, but we didn't know why, and more significantly, who. I arrived at my trench and gave Boris the necessary send-off before slumping off inside.

 

"Take my hand, dear" said my mother, in a futile attempt to get me out of the state I was in. I've known Robert from way back so seeing him like that really hit home. There was absolutely nothing I could do. "Please, dear" my mother then said. It appeared she was very worried about me. "You needn't worry" I responded, in an endeavour to reassure her.

 

I didn't know anything regarding the case, but one thing was certain; it's that I would not rest until I found everything out.

Chapter 1-The Danger

On the 29th August 1998 the midget submarine "MarineSparx" was lying on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, about 100 miles from Ireland.The two men in it were just finishing a six-hour work shift, for the submarine's job was to help in laying Trans-Atlantic telephone cables.On the surface above them was the mother ship,"BlueSparx", a specialised cable-laying ship.

Their work was done, the men were looking forward to breakfast and some sleep. They requested permission to rise, and this was granted, so the "MarineSparx" slowly surfaced.But just as it was nearly back on board the "BlueSparx", something went wrong.A cable slipped and the small submarine(MarineSparx) fell back into the water.As it did so, part of the submarine was flooded but fortunately the main working area where the two men were not flooded, and "MarineSparx" went into an uncontrollable dive towards the sea-bed, finally coming down at a depth of 500 metres.

The men were uninjured and had enough air(oxygen) for three days.They could still communicate with "BlueSparx" by radio.The captain of the "BlueSparx" immediately reported the accident to his head office, and an international rescue attempt began.....

Was a English assignment quite long ago...

 

 

Terrlandor. The worst place in history. Where dictatorship rules, hungrily. Nothing but torture is present in the daily basis of peoples’ lives.

 

Vicious, violent and venomous flames spat through the village houses of the city. No one could do anything but watch. Horrified, I gazed at the TV screen, watching the flashing headlines of the news. I was horrified and disgusted. People were screeching like bats in the dark as their houses were being burnt down. The poor villagers. They were always the victims of this horrendous torment. Our leader hated the villagers so he wanted to wipe them all out. This is because he wanted everyone to be urbanised. He hated the villages; he loved the city. This is due to his childhood; where he had lived in the village with his mother and father. His father was very harsh, he forbade him from crossing the border in which laid the city. Thus, as he lived his spiteful childhood, he had yearned to become a dominant leader who would live by the city and torture the villagers.

 

The work of the dictatorship ruling our city was dreadful. They had the power which no one was able to stand against (well, no one had ever tried). They enjoyed every moment of it; torturing the innocent villagers. All we knew about our dictatorship leader was that it was a man. No one had ever seen him before but his workers. This suffering was enough!

An idea crawled into my head. I had to meet the mysterious man who was overpowering us with torture and I had to question him of why he was doing so! Was all this worth it? Was there a reason behind his maliciousness?

 

It was long back, about 60 years ago; when our leader’s father was the dictatorship. They passed on their leadership to the heirs. We had harsh laws and terrifying punishments. Once a group of prisoners had gone missing from their cells in prison, no one knew what happened to them. They were never seen again, guards had declared that they had escaped and were never found. But everyone knew that it was just a distortion to cover up the concealed truth.

 

I headed outside to accomplish my goal. The grey, dreary clouds were disguising the sky like a spy. Lightning tore through the clouds as if it were in a race. Instantly, thunder boomed through the skies. BOOM! The ground shook. Acidic rain descended from the gloomy clouds. I hastily scurried under a shelter to prevent myself from getting soaked.

 

Time drifted past, the rain finally stopped. I headed towards the lake. Across the lake was where the leader lived. No one ever dared to cross as it was over flowing with guards. In silence, I crept into the lake and dived underwater. At the corner of my eyes I detected something which I’ve never seen in my life. I gaped at the skeletons buried deep into the lake. I was gob-smacked…

The Story of the Silent

 

Chapter 1:

 

May 17^th, 1789 

 

                Looking around, all there was sea and he was in the middle of nowhere on a ship sailing to the “America”. Unlike everyone else on this ship, he was here on a different purpose. Two months ago, there was a murder concerning a very high ranking official in England, and he was the one to find and kill the person who did it. Finding the person was easy enough: A large male with expensive clothing, a balding head, and an atrocious American accent. After asking around the ship, he discovered that the man’s name was Arnold P. Warthoski. He was a banker who lived in the New England region. He spat in disgust when the thought of that country came to mind. When he saw his target walk down the hatch, he waited a few minutes and followed him in.

 

                Nights are always the best for an assassin. They are cold, windy, and dark, and they require everything required to do some silent shadowing. When Warthoski got up, he quietly followed him to the side of the ship. The man’s back was turned so he couldn’t see what he was throwing into the water, so he went to a different side to see if he could get a better view. Stepping in the shadows, he got a good view of what was happening. It appeared he was dropping torn pieces of paper into the water! Climbing to a rung above Warthoski, the assassin crouched, jumped, and plunged a hidden blade into his shoulder. He died instantly, and fell into the water along with the paper. With his job done, he climbed into the hard, wood table that doubled as a bed and fell fast asleep.

 

September 13^th, 1767

 

                Clyde N. Parker. Nothing interesting about this child ever made anyone think of him as different. He was shy, quiet, and liked to be by himself. His parents died when he was 13 and he had no siblings. He liked to wander the streets, and greatly enjoyed traveling. It was because of this that he learned the arts of an assassin. It was just a normal day like any other for 19 year old Clyde as he boarded a ship headed to a small island known the Crescent Bay. The sun was shining and the wind was next to nonexistent, the perfect weather for sailing. Once onboard, he sat against a pole, put his hat down over his eyes, and prepared for the 8 hour trip. A while later, he was roughly awoken by someone trying to pickpocket him. Jumping up, he came face to face with a youth about his age. Before any words could be spoken, the lad punched him in his face, and dashed off with his pouch. Leaving his hat behind, he ran after him in mad pursuit. Dangerously close to the edge of the bow, he came face to face with the young man who stole his money. He went into a badly formed fighting stance, prepared to beat him up if necessary, yet it was not meant to be. The boat shook violently and he fell into the deep ocean, in the trail of the massive ship. He tried to scream for help, but was quickly quieted by a mouthful of sea water. His eyes slowly started closing once the water got into his lungs. Not being able to breathe, he lay on his back in the water and blacked out.

THE GOLDEN PENGUIN PART 1

 

One chilly day in december I found a penguin wadling around outside my house. I think he was lost. When he saw me he waddled way as fast as he could. I grabbed one of my old dog leashes and ran after the penguin. I found him in an alley. Luckily the alley was close to my school so i took him with me. When i got to school i saw that my penguin had turned gold like someone had painted him! Then he touched a locker and it turned gold. "WOW", I said. I brought him into class and the teacher said, "Why do you have a penguin"? "I thought since you said that you liked penguins I would bring one", I responded. "Ok" sighed the teacher. Just then the penguin slid out of my arms and got on my desk It touched it. "My desk its gold!" I said.

 

              But then because of destroying school property, having an animal in the school, and not having a license for having a penguin, I was expelled. I took my penguin back to my house I decided to train it so that nothing like that would happen again. It was fun training him he Loved sardines so thats what I rewarded him with. When I had to leave he would try to follow me but i dot let him he then waddles to the windowsill and waits for me to come back. When i got back he would waddle over to me and hug my leg. One day I went to the store and when i came back he was not waiting for me. I looked around the house and then I finally found him in the back yard he had made a nest i saw eggs in it. He was a female!

                                                                                    Chapter One

 Two days ago, it rained almost for the whole day. Because of the weather, I couldn’t go outside and play, so I had to clean my room. As I was sorting my textbooks, someone knocked on the door. My sister came in carrying a small pile of books, she left it on the table and got out of the room.

From that pile, a book got my attention, it had a grey cover and some cryptic writings on it. As I opened it, I felt the desire to create something, so I started writing. Time passed by and I was still in my upside-down room with that strange book in my hands. After a couple of hours, I realized what I had done. Everything that I wrote in the book, would later exist in real life. I looked out of the window and I saw the castle that I had described in my writings, I also saw phoenixes being chased by mighty dragons, knights cleaning their armour and wizards casting spells in their stronghold towers.

Somehow, my room door got locked, so I had to create a magic hawk that carried me to the castle gate. Honour Guards were watching over the entrance, they gave me awkward looks, my clothes were the problem, so I quickly wrote in the book that I wanted to wear medieval clothes and then I had to cast a spell of forgetting on them. The massive gates opened, soldiers in shiny armours marched out of the castle. As everyone’s attention was distracted by the soldiers, I sneaked through the gates and got into the castle. I saw a trader who was selling baby dragons. I had no money but that was not a problem because I had the book. I bought a baby dragon and I waited inside the castle until it grew up. When it was strong enough, I hopped on its back and flew over the land. I wanted to create another realm that would be filled with dwarves and mines. As i was forging this world of stone and pickaxes I Felt........
