Short Story Competition #2

# <br><br><br><br>The theme of this competition is: **The Box Under My Bed**<br><br>Each competitor is required to submit a short story before midnight, yesterday the 31st of December. However, I am aware that the holiday season is a highly unlikely time to have more free time, so it is not required that you submit your story right away. Nevertheless, your story will not be accepted if it is submitted after 11:59 PM, December 31st.\<br><br><br># <br><br><br><br>Each story must be a short story no longer than 2,000 words. Please submit a link to your story, NOT the story itself.<br><br># <br><br><br><br>If you have completed steps 1 and 2, please add the phrase: **I am a competitor.** to the end of your post and I will update your status as a competitor. Please note that you must have a link to your story within your post or I will not accept it.
