This is my second ever contest! I do hope y'all will like it. Here's your challenge, my firends:
A girl walks under an oak tree on the bank of a stream. Sitting on one of its roots, she lets her feet flow over the side. Something emotional has just happened to her, and this is her own special place to go and re-group herself.
She looks down into the crystal clear water flowing around and over her barefeet. She leans her head against the trunk of the old oak, her shelter. What is she thinking?
is she content with life, happy, or grief-striken?
In this contest, I will give you a choice:
1. You describe what is running through her head this instant, before, or after.
2. You tell me what happened to place her in this particular state of mind.
3. Both.
4. You give me a short- medium length story including what happened, this moment, and the resultss of this moment.
**BONUS POINTS**

Are you kidding me?!?!? One trophy?!?!?! This has got to be some kind of joke. You have this contest judging for almost three weeks, and then you only award ONE TROPHY?!?!? Pardon me, but that is seriously f*ked up. And what is even more strange, is the fact that it says up there that you have not logged in since August 5th. How is that correct, if you have judged this contest, and apologized in the Final Notes? I am very pissed off. Thank you very much for not giving me any recognition at all for the effort I put in to writing for your contest, or anyone else for that matter.
