Hello, fellow BZPers.

You may have noticed that I've decided to go ahead with a Short Story Contest. So, here's the lowdown:

You have until February 4th to create for me a Short Story. Length, I don't care. I care about quality.

Now, with any SS Contest, there will be a theme. This contest's theme will be the lyrics to Disturbed's song Remember. You may choose to incorporate the lyrics, or simply build a story based upon said lyrics (granted, you include an explanation of how the story fits the song with your story).

Stories will be judged by myself based upon originality, ties to theme, and grammar. Yeah, I'm simple.

As well, I'd suggest listening to the song as well. It's simply beautiful.

Now, to run over the info one more time:

Final Entry Date: February 4th

Length: Your choosing.

Theme: 'Remember' by Disturbed

As I final note before I give you your lyrics, winners will be announced February 7th.

Lyrics:

Sensation washes over me

I can't describe it

Pain I felt so long ago

I don't remember

Tear a hole so I can see

My devastation

Feelings from so long ago

I don't remember

Holding on, to let them know

What's given to me, given to me

To hide behind

The mask this time

And try to believe

Blind your eyes to what you see

You can't embrace it

Leave it well enough alone

And don't remember

Cut your pride and watch it bleed

You can't deny it

Pain you know you can't ignore

I don't remember

Holding on, to let them know

What's given to me, given to me

To hide behind

The mask this time

And try to believe

If I can

Remember

To know this will

Conquer me

If I can

Just walk alone

And try to escape

Into me

Sensation washes over me

I can't describe it

Pain I felt so long ago

I don't remember

I'm just holding on, to let them know

What's given to me, given to me

To hide behind

The mask this time

And try to believe

If I can

Remember

To know this will

Conquer me

If I can

Just walk alone

And try to escape

Into me

into me

into me
