WHAT'S GOING ON?



Recently, my sister has been telling me tales of the goings on at the car dealership in which she works. It seems too good to pass up as a writer. Yet, I wanted to share. I wanted to see what other writers would come up with. So here is the plan.

*Idea*I will list each character, no names, and the events surrounding that particular person.

*Idea*Every character must be used.

*Idea*Write a story, no more than 3000 words, as to what is really going on at the dealership, or behind the scenes.

*Idea*Items must be linked in the forum, anything posted directly will be deleted.

*Idea*No rating over 13+ please. Any higher ratings will be deleted.

*Idea*Have fun!



Here are your characters to work with. You may add characters for the purpose of your tale, but ALL of these listed must be utilized!

Male, mid to late twenties: Works in the parts department, extrememly dependable. Stopped showing up to work with no warning. Calls to his home and to family members have gone unanswered. He still has not shown to work in nearly three weeks.

Male, early forties: Sales manager. Had been ill for a long time with a suspected serious illness. His health has deteriorated and he ended up in the hospital for tests. He had a blot clot in or near his heart which was shutting off oxygen and thus causing his organs to shut down.

Female, 50's: Cashier for the service department. Roommate died suddenly.

Male, early forties: Salesman. Took a weeks' vacation then called to say he had two more vacation days left. Hasn't been heard from since. Has a known gambling addiction.


There are your main characters. Do with them as you wish, but remember ALL must be used in your story.



Prizes:(otherwise known as the good stuff*Wink*)

1st place: Receives an awardicon worth 10,000 gp's and 5,000 gp's
2nd place: Receives 5,000 gp's
3rd place: Receives 2,500 gp's

Most creative use of the prompt: Receives a 10,000 gp Awardicon.



Contest runs from April 1st until midnight April 30th. Winners will be featured in the May 17 Drama newsletter.

Now get to writing!
