Attention dear mentioned participants! Your contributions have violated some of the rules of the contest, I am hereby mentioning you and giving you a chance to edit your post before the deadline to meet all the rules! There is a participant who has met all the rules, which is why I cannot be unfair and treat these entries as valid as long as they violate the rules, please understand.

@Muftii your post only consists of 472 words and is missing an obvious open end. With the words that are still missing to hit the 500 minimum, I am sure you can easily add a great open ending that leaves the readers in suspense

@Adeljose all you need to edit to apply all of the rules, is to add the #Rashia-Contest

@Nevlu123 your contribution only consists of 464 words and is also missing an obvious open end. I am sure you can write an amazing open end that is exciting and leaves us in suspense for more

@Kaysmile44 your contribution actually makes me happy and sad. It is a beautiful breath taking poem. But I do not think it would be fair to the other participants to let a poem take part in a short story challenge. Besides the fact of it being a poem it only has 251 words and no open end. I will however make a special mention of your post in a post I will be writing tomorrow. Your beautiful poem deserves recognition! I hope you understand and do not hold this against me

@Jacorv you made an awesome story, but it is missing an open end. Please consider editing and making it a open end that leaves us in suspense

@Jadnven please add the #Rashia-Contest to apply all of the rules

@Angelik-a please also add the #Rashia-Contest to appl all of the rules as well

Thank you very much and I hope for your understanding. If I make one exception, I will have to make many and it will be unfair to the other participant who has really applied all of the rules.
