This competition is all about the family  unit and what happens after someone has stayed for a period of time…perhaps the mother-in-law, the elderly parent, the rebellious child. Families are complex and often, extended time together can stir up unwanted emotions, friction or, deep feelings of love. Really, it’s up to you. Just bring the story to life by creating realistic characters, emotions and events. You do not need to use the photo published here but you may if you so desire.

Make your story compelling and as imaginative as you like. Just ensure that your story has a maximum of 1000 words so choose your starting point carefully.
