    Seren Felin ነቻ.
    Seren Felin ነቻ.
    I write to capture the fleeting, the unspoken, the magic hidden in ordinary moments. Poetry, prose, or something in between—I embrace all genres and styles, letting each piece take the form it desires. My words are laced with emotion, mystery, and a touch of the ethereal.

    If you love stories that linger like a whispered melody, welcome to my world. ?

📜 Prompt: Sometimes, an entire story can be told in just one sentence. Whether it's heartwarming, spine-chilling, or completely unexpected, craft a powerful story using only ONE sentence.

🔹 Rules:

  • Your story must be a single sentence (but punctuation like commas, dashes, or semicolons are allowed!).
  • Keep it under 50 words for maximum impact.
  • Any genre is welcome—make it romantic, eerie, humorous, or poetic!
  • Bonus points for plot twists or an emotional punch.

💡 Example Entries:

  • She woke up to the sound of the ocean, only to remember she fell asleep in her bedroom—miles away from the shore.
  • He finally found the courage to call her, but the familiar voice that answered whispered, "She’s been gone for years."
  • The hero slayed the dragon, kissed the princess, and rode into the sunset—until he realized this was just Level 1.

Deadline: February 26, 2025
🏆 Prizes: Bragging rights & creative glory! (Virtual Badge)
