Chronocrypto Introduces- A Very Short Story Contest
It may be apocryphal, but the story goes that Ernest Hemingway won a bet by writing a short story that ran fewer than ten words, Yes fewer than ten words, can you?
One version of the story places the bet at the famed Algonquin “round table.” Whether true or not, there is an actual bet-winning short story attributed to Hemingway.
Now I share with you a very short story contest.
You have to admit it is pretty damn good. It builds, and there’s a whole world of background and emotion lurking beneath those words, you would think it not but I bet when you ready you got this feeling over you.
I @chronocrypto would like to make a contest for you. Write a great short story in ten words or fewer. (You may use a title, that does not go into the word count, lucky), Spelling and Grammar is a must. Submit it to the contest in this post. I will pick 5 winners
Some great examples:
"He stared at her with anticipation. Therefore, he’s failed already."
"Comfortable coffin for sale. I only used it briefly."
"A cobra tattoo covers your first girlfriend’s name almost completely."
Prizes goes as follows:
1st Prize: 5 SBD
2nd Prize: 4 SBD
3rd Prize: 3 SBD
4th Prize: 2 SBD
5th Prize: 1 SBD
Contest Ends Friday 5:00PM Pacific Standard Time.
I used a Bid bot on this post or else no one would have seen it otherwise
I speak English. Verb follows Subject whilst preceeding the Object.
Genius.
Not a great story, but I was just trying to mess around with something funny...
Its a short story of innovation, I'll give you that.
Are we both going to do replies in ten words?
Yea, you won first prize! I had a feeling you would catch on.
Great success sometimes is achieved by the stupidly curious mind!

It was days later I discovered who killed me.
Check out Altered Carbon, this Sentence is the gist of it.
Just great.... After seven minutes of thinking of a killer sentence, and then realize....
... "Oh hey, you aren't the first person to come up with something like that, ON EARTH"
Haha....maybe I'll get hit with another wave of inspiration later on.
Perhaps look deep within your self to find your self.
No problem, happens to me all the time~
Thanks @chronocrypto. Enjoy these contests on Steemit. Here's my entry:

Like this one. Especially as it can read a couple of ways ;)
Many people lost the contest because they could not count.
