Instructions:

Please do not use a story previously used on goodreads. After the week's contest, you are welcome to put it on your profile writings, but please refrain from using stories you have already put on there.

You have until Saturday afternoon to post a story on here. Please post it directly onto this topic, rather than posting a link. Also, please do not discuss stories on here. You must go to Weekly Short Story Contest Discussion for that. This will avoid any clutter and confusion, so that people can simply come on here and read the story, without having to read comments on the story.

This week's Topic is Army. If anyone has any objections to this topic, please go to the Objections post. The rules are pretty loose. You could write pretty much anything. Just have the word in the story.

Weekly stories must be at least 500 words long to 2,500 words long. (if the whole story won't fit in one post, divide it into two)

Good luck!

Arthur [acting for Clare:]

P.S. PLEASE say if you would like to have your story on Short Story Galore, if you win. This way it wouldn't take me ages to get your consent afterwards. This includes adding a link to your stories. If you want to have your story on the Short Story Galore, but not the link, just say so.

I'm going to have to wait and read your story this afternoon Jessica.

We need another story so we can have a contest poll this week.

I feel kind of sorry there wasn't more this week considering Jessica's story had been so well. I suppose by tomorrow I will have another topic for a contest. I will waive the poll this week and according to previous rules make Jessica the winner of this week's contest. Congrats Jessica. I believe you did deserve the win.

Try and save your work for our next contest Olivia.

ahhh no i'm sorry I was going to post it earlier but I got caught in traffic and I didn't have time to finish... i guess i will just have to try to work the next word into the existing short story... but despite the extra time don't expect it to be amazing :P im kind of rusty...
