Art Prompt Writing Contest #9

Welcome to the first Art Prompt Writing Contest of 2018. The art portion ended a few days ago and I selected this piece from @azbeen as the winner earlier today.

Using this amusing piece of art as a story prompt, I am asking authors to submit original pieces of fiction of between 500 and 1500 words. There is some leeway at the top end as I will only consider this if judging is close, so if you run to 2000 or more words, don't panic!

I decided to continue what I did with the last contest, and run this for two weeks. There will be 1 overall winner who will receive 20 Steem plus the SBD payout from this post. There will be 3 runners up who will each receive 5 Steem.

The contest will end at midnight UTC / GMT on the 1^st of February.

Post your stories to Steem and link them in the replies below. Make sure you include the artwork in your post and attribute it to @azbeen.

TOP MUXXY TIP: make your way over to The Writers' Block on Discord to have your work critiqued and edited or to brainstorm ideas with our awesome staff, volunteers and members. It won't cost you a thing and will add that extra bit of polish to your submissions.

Good luck everybody, and have fun with this one.
