When Push Comes to Shove
Contest #200908
I dug my toes into the soft white sand and refused to move. My knees trembled and knocked, locking in fear and isolation as I stared out at the rushing waves. They were cackling and taunting as their fingers groped at the sand, wishing desperately that they could inch forward and reach me, consume me.

Are you entering the Pikes Peak Writers Fiction Contest this year? Check out the list of VIP judges that Dawn Miller just posted to the PPW's listserv (and I'm copying below with her permission). That list is totally impressive! So, if you were thinking of submitting an entry and have yet to do so, you've got until November 15th to submit your entry.
Highlights 2010 Fiction Contest
2009.09.28
Many of the entries we receive for the CCF Online writing contest are of high caliber. We felt some of the entries would qualify for the Highlights 2010 Fiction Contest so we wrote Highlights asking whether they would accept entries that had been published to the CCF site and they said that, yes, they would.
POCKETS Writer's Guidelines
2009.09.14
 I grew up in Cuba reading "El Aposento Alto" (The Upper Room). This was a wonderful devotional I read from cover to cover. The stories in it inspired and strenghtened me, especially after Castro took over the country and communism was established.
First Lines wanted
Send us your first lines!
Send us a first line we can use for the CCF Online Writing Contest. The contest changes themes, and first lines, on a monthly basis. CCF began its online writing contest in 2007 and received great entries that were posted to the site. We'll continue the contest this year and would love to receive suggested first lines from our site's visitors and contest participants.
Alone
Contest #200908
I dug my toes in the soft white sand, remembering the screams and panic that erupted on the beach just under a year ago. I whipped the gun from my pocket and turned around when I sensed someone behind me.
Revenge nn the soft white sand
Contest #200908
I dug my toes in the soft white sand and I wished I could bury my whole body as well and escape this cruel world! I don't understand why someone like me should be allowed to live. I have suffered a lot.

Surfer's Merritt
Contest #200908
I dug my toes into the soft white sand and tried to relax as Merritt, my son, tied his surfboard leash onto his ankle. Merritt was eight and a natural born swimmer. His Dad taught him to surf, and Merritt was ready to surf alone. We always signaled each other from the beach. Thumbs-up meant, I'm happy, and patting one hand on his head meant, help!
