Six-Word Contest… sorta

ABOUT the PROJECT

10a-scotsdolls

I say “sorta” because although there really is a contest, the winning story won’t be posted to eBay. Why not? Because the Scottish Doll was thrown away, and therefore can’t be sold on eBay.

Read about the Scottish Doll’s fate here, and then post your 6-word story to the comments section of that post. (Not this one!) At some point soon, a winning story will be picked, and a prize will be awarded.

The significance of this object has been invented by the author; see the project description for details. Click here to receive email updates.
