THE SCRIBBLE ANNUAL SHORT STORY COMPETITION

Your first line is: ‘He had an uneasy feeling as he inserted the key…‘ (‘He’ can be changed to ‘She’ or ‘I’). You have to write the rest of the story. Maximum length: 3000 words.

The winning entry will be published in the winter 2023 edition of Scribble. Short listed entries may also be published at a later date.

All entries to competitions must be previously unpublished (including internet) and the writer’s own work.
