‘Meeting the Parents’ is a 50-word story. This story was written for the NineVoices’ 2016 50-word Halloween competition.
For the competition, I had to write a 50-word story inspired by a photo of gravestones at Whitby Abbey.
For a while, I was stuck for a story idea. I loved the photo, but I couldn’t figure out a good enough story to go with it, especially one that had to be told in 50-words. Then an idea finally popped into my head – it was a eureka moment.
I was so thrilled to find out that I had won this competition.
