The topic for this contest is: We are going on a treasure hunt.
Write a story, no poetry, that incorporates the topic. The story has to be specifically about the topic.

Minimum length 700 words. Maximum length is whatever you choose. Recommended length 2,000 - 3,500 words.
You have decided to enter into a treasure hunt that someone told you about. The treasure hunt is in this old house down by the river where no one goes because of all the bad things they've heard about the location. You decide what the bad stuff is.
But everyone who is anyone is going to go on this treasure hunt. Its the talk of the town, and its on Halloween night. So, you can't be left out. It might even help you regain your lost popularity.
Anything goes in your story about the house. I'm thinking this should be pretty funny but again it is totally up to the author
Here is the list of things to find. You must include at least 5 from the list but you do not have to find all 10....
1. Unicorn farts (yep, you have to find a way to capture it)
2. fairy dust ( you do have to capture it)
3. The last words spoken by (your choice a famous person)
4. The end of the rainbow (a slice of it)
5. the end of the good fairies wand
6. The jolly green Giants snot
7. The hair from the back of a troll
8. Cinderella's lost slipper
9. A tear from the eye of the wicked queen in the story snow white
10.A bag of monster candy...(meaning candy you've collected from a monster...
You have to prove all that you've found in the treasure hunt. You can bottle it, show a sample of it etc...
In the end the winner of the hunt will get an award of some sort, you choose what that might be...
Sound fun? Well enjoy! This should get us off to a good start for Halloween in October!
