What to do:
• Using this story starter, tell what happens next in 400 words or less:
People often say that "every person is the hero of their own story." What they don't tell you is that sometimes you are the villain in someone else's story. This is the story of the day I learned that lesson the hard way.
Deadline:
• April 15, 2016

• Details of prizes and the entry form can be found at worldlit.ca/write2016
