Hey! I'm looking
Hey! I'm looking to start a writing contest. Since this is a writing contest, there will not be a charrie sheet. You will make up as many characters as you want as you go along. Join whenever, I guess! Anyway, it can be any genre of story. Have fun with this! There are no rules, just have fun!

I sprint down the street. I'm dead. I can't run for much longer, and I can't run into the woods -- they're full of dangers. Soon the street will fade out and I'll be in the woods.
But then I think. Red's gone into the woods before. Jack used to LIVE in the woods. . . Who says I can't escape to there, Just for a little bit? Mother and Father won't mind.
I risk a glance backward, and see him. His footsteps are pounding in my ears, getting louder each time. His eyes are small and cruel. His short, jet-black hair is slicked back, like it has been dipped in river water. He glares at me with his angry eyes and I try to run faster.
"You wouldn't," He growls as I come to a stop in front of the woods. "You know what's happened in those woods. They're full of countless dangers that a child such as yourself could never handle."
"Really?" I ask him. "My sister used to go into the woods every week and come out safe. My brother used to live in the wods. I'm sure I could handle what's in there. Red and Jack did when they were my age."
A bead of sweat manifests on my forehead. I'm only twelve! Jack was fourteen! Red was thirteen! I start to doubt myself as I turn and run into the woods.

Here's an entry! Sorry I didn't name it at the start, but I think I'll name it "David and Goliath" because it's based off that story, but with some other characters thrown in. I do agree that there isn't much character depth in it, but that's because it's a fanfiction-type-thing for the movie "Into the Woods." If you've heard of it, great! If you haven't, watch it!
