Short Story Contest Begins

 Story #1 - An ANTagonizing Adventure

"What was that noise?" Anthony the ant asked. Everybody rushed out of the office room. Another branch had fallen from the Tree Of Life, but there had been no damage. This had been the third sign they had seen this month, except nobody could read the signals. Anthony had been researching The Scrolls Of Legend and had found nothing. This third signal had made something inside Anthony click. He knew there would be great disaster coming. Then, the strangest thing of all happened. The branch burst into flames. After the smoke was gone and everyone was done coughing, Anthony examined the spot where the branch exploded. There was something written in Cricketan. Somehow Anthony knew how to translate. The singed ground read "The enemy is coming."

 And that was the first A Qualifier of four. This is just a snippet of the story and if this story is voted into the Semi-Finals more will be added to it. Every Qualifier will be at least 100 words long and for how the tournament will work click here. The next three stories will be posted in the next three days, and the voting day will be July 5th. Depending on how much work it is, this may be a one time only thing or a monthly deal.
