Hello contemporary-lit lovers!


Welcome to July's contest! This month, we're teaming up with mediadirectory  to bring you a new short story and aesthetic challenge!

We've created some prompts for you to work with and write a short story! Alongside this short story, we also challenge you to create an aesthetic board to go with it!

Independence Day is a huge part of July, so we've chosen to focus this contest of this holiday!


Independence Day ( the Fourth of July) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence, which was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.


Anyway, take a look at our prompts!

Prompt Two: On 4th July, you find a door with a single keyhole - it will open regardless of what key you use to unlock it. All keys will open this door. What's on the other side, however, depends on the key...
