A Catch in your breath.. (prewrites allowed)

This is my first contest, so there's not too many points, but I think this topic could be fun! I want you to write me a piece about a moment that made you gasp. It can be with delight, with surprise, or in excitement. It can be sexual, but nothing too distasteful. Have fun and Good Luck! Oh ya, rules...

1. No sticky Caps
2. No smut
3. Prewrites Allowed!

Feel Free to message me if you have any questions!

  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 120, Bronze: 70, Honorable mention: 11 people
  • Final notes:
    Oh man, this was fun! This was my first contest and I have to say I was blown away by the amount of entries and their caliber. Thank you so much to everyone who entered. Even the entries that didn't really fit the description, I'm just glad I had the chance to read them. I tried to give everyone quality feedback and I'm sorry if I came off as brief or harsh. I had the hardest time picking the top three, but I had to. So, here it is! Good luck writing in the future and I hope to continue reading your work!
