We would like to invite our readers to participate in a competition to write a six-word story based on the photograph above. Please put your submission in the ‘Comments’ section for this post. There is no entry fee, but a small prize of £10 will be sent to the winner. (No need to submit your details. We will ask for them if you’ve won.) The deadline is midnight Wednesday, 17th February 2016 and the winner will be chosen at the ninevoices meeting the following day.
To provide you with a bit of inspiration, this writer’s effort was:
“Just tell me straight.” “Not lyin’.”
No doubt you can do better.

Hi, Iqra – you seem to be entering our six-word caption for the lion photo, which we held back in February. We did chose a winner, I’m afraid, so you’ve lost out on that one as it is now closed.
HOWEVER, there’s still time to enter our fifty-word story competition for the Halloween photograph of the graveyard. That one closes on the 31st October and there is a £25 prize for the winner. If you study our blog and you will see the details.
Do have a go, it’s good fun.
