The Pygmy Giant

Dear all, there is one week left for you to enter the March Challenge! Take ten minutes, jot something down, and you could win the first prize we have ever awarded. So have a go and give us a laugh – we’ll be even more impressed if you manage to write something incredibly moving using the words below…

Here’s a reminder of the rules:

Members of the Facebook group have kindly provided us with a selection of nouns, verbs and adjectives, without really knowing what they were signing up for. So here’s the challenge – you have until 31st March to craft and send us a very short story of 250 words or fewer (!) which contains the all of the following words:

Trouble
Marmot (look it up)
Throttle
Snorkelling
Understated
Shiny

Any genre will do. Putting the words in the title doesn’t count! Send all your submissions to thepygmygiant@gmail.com and if there are a lot of good entries we’ll put them all up on the page.

The one deemed the best by an uneducated mystery panel of judges will win a PRIZE worth perhaps as much as Five English Pounds. Yes, it’s true. And you’ll find out who won on April 1st. No foolin’. Go to it!
