Cute story with the typical behavior of an older sibling abandoning a younger one. Nice touch at the end when the "neglecting" brother turns out to be a hero. You've provided a complete story within the 100 word limit.

Hello anonymous,

~Big Brother~was a cute little story. I know it is hard to tell a whole story in 100 words, you did a pretty good job telling a complete story.

Hi there,

Nice to have a big brother to always look up to. Although why did he leave her alone in the first place?

There seems to be some formatting issues with the piece thought.

The accompanying picture seems to have little to do with the piece.

Good luck.

    Hi,

    Sorry. Some sentences are appearing like this -

    Kicking the large, colorful ball across the yard, then chasing after
    it was only fun for so long.

    Hence the sentence is splitting unnaturally over two lines.

This is a wonderful write. It goes smoothly, quickly and has a nice, satisfying ending. You deserve to win!"Sis, I'll always be there for you." Those are deep, meaningful words: a good motto to go by for any of us.

This is a cute little story that reminds me and I'm sure others of the relationship that close siblings have with each other. This small event is one that we remember and apply to how we feel about our brothers and sisters throughout our entire lives.
