My new plan is just to divide my first entry in twain, calling the first section "Aswang Top Half," and the second section, "Aswang Lower Half," and have it be two entries.
I am afraid that won't cut it. I mean, it'll cut your story in half alright, but it won't ... oh, you know what I mean. The story has to be 400 words, not a part of the story. Saying that entries will be considered on a stand-alone basis. But I am sure you can come up with something about infertility and fruit baskets that fits into 400 words, Walden.
ENTRY: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was a dark and stormy night. But soft what light through yonder window breaks? But that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly.
"My nose is quite nice, but I fear turning it up would spoil it," said Anne, patting that shapely organ.
"I haven't so many good features that I could afford to spoil those I have; so, even if I should marry the King of the Cannibal Islands, I promise you I won't turn up my nose at you, Diana."
With another gay laugh the girls separated, Diana to return to Orchard Slope, Anne to walk to the Post Office. She found a letter awaiting her there, and when Gilbert Blythe overtook her on the bridge over the Lake of Shining Waters she was sparkling with the excitement of it. "This island and all adjoining it are inhabited by hairy savages, who are certain to attack us, and whatever these dwarfs may do we dare not resist, since they swarm like locusts, and if one of them is killed the rest will fall upon us, and speedily make an end of us."
But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before.
THE END
