The following contest is about a time in your life where you've felt trapped and felt there is no where to run to or no one to turn to. We've all been there!!
What we are looking for in the entries of this contest, is raw, pure emotion and passion, both gifts that make writing come alive.
We are also looking for undescovered talent out there, when it comes to writing pieces that you feel emotive about, that's when we see the real you.
This contest has no rules, profanity, erotica, swearing, abuse anything goes, just be free, be you and let go.
Some of you won't need these but for those of you who may struggle for a topic here's a few ideas to help you on your way:-
*Relationships - feeling suffocating and not being able to see a way out.
*Life - ever feel you've come to the end of the road and can't turn back
*Restraints - ever been physically bound, what did you feel, experience?
*Entrapment - what does it mean to you?
*Abuse - ever felt trapped in an abusive suituation?
