Contest Personification Prompt by Cannonsfire

It's been a while since I did a story contest but I rather like the theme of giving someone life, so here it is again.

RESERVE your spot and I will give you a person's name to write about. It must have a story of their life contained within in. Tell me about them, their features, their lives, their loves and ups and downs along their journey.

If you want a clue to how it is done then go read these ones I have done, you don't need to comment. Just use them for some inspiration.

Ok, go write me a new person and make them breathe with your words...

AND I DO MEAN NEW PERSON!!! I don't want to read about someone who is real!!! I want you to breathe fresh life into the name...ok???

  • Just fyi

    Um thought you might want to know that what you are asking for isn't personification...personification is giving an inhuman animal or object human like qualities...I don't mean to be rude. just thought you should know.
