Welcome to day 2, of my You Pick the Story Contest!
Here's how it works! I'll share five prompts and you vote for the one you like best. You're welcome to add any ideas to your vote, but, I'll only obligate myself to the prompt.
Once you've decided on which prompt you want me to write a story about, by tomorrow, leave your vote in the comments, follow me and upvote this post to be entered! If you'd like a second entry, tag a friend! Three entries? Greedy bugger, Resteem the post. You can only choose one prompt. If you do all three, and your prompt is the winner, your name goes in three times!
The prompt with the most votes will be my inspiration. I will create a completely original short fiction by the next day, based on that prompt of at least 500 words. In addition, I will use the winning voters name as a character in the story!
Choose one prompt per day, but come back often!
Here's Today's Winner!
So, today's winner is @bearbear613
I'll be posting the story by this evening. @bearbear613, you will be a 25% beneficiary of that post automatically upon payout, through Steemplus, direct to your wallet! CONGRATS!

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #20. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!

Okay, I'll vote for #3. It'd be a sci-fi take on the evergreen niche, prepper fiction. It'd be nice to see the same challenged presented in a science-fiction format.

Very cool contest - so happy to have discovered it!
Although others seem to favor #3, I wouldn't go with that because looong time ago I read a novel - some post apocalyptic Earth where people had to re-discover how to do everything.
I'll choose #1 - maybe the aliens are funny...or not...
I'm not sure about the rules, but I'll tag @honeydue to join...

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Maybe it's just my reading of the piece. I certainly couldn't do what you're doing in writing a story every day. It's kinda like Harlan Ellison isn't it?

If I can criticize you and you not take offense. Not on your writing, but on your video. I have followed you for a few week and do appreciate your posts and stories. So please read that I am not speaking against you. ( I am often misread).
Your camera angle on the video, If I can suggest you keep the camera an eye level, (Fixed if possible). Slightly above eye level works good. I think it would have a name like the Chin Up Theory. If it has a name, ask me to explain if I make no sense
