The Tenth week of the fifty word story contest has come to an end, we had a guest judge for the week, the amazing @dreemit, also this week's interview on The InkPot with @verbal-d received a lot of attention and good reviews
As you all know the fifty word story contest is here to reward those who are able to tell a fascinating story in fifty words, the contest is also a way to encourage new steemians on the platform. The growth of steemit depends on their presence,this is what led to commuinty building projects like @curie and this contest.
This contest is open to only Steemians with reputation 55 and lower.
Also our guest judge @dreemit helped to further increase the reward pool by 6 Steem
Prizes as follows
First Place : @anomadsoul >> 350 Trail coins and 17 Steem Won
All They Want Is My Crown
I have no time left.
My enemies are already outside the door.
I can clearly hear them prepare their weapons.
Let them try, I´m prepared to fight.
I walked into this trap all by myself, I trusted her.
My own mother betrayed me.
God, I hate coming to the dentist.
Second Place: @youngjae >> 200 Trail coins and 10Steem won
The Crown
Alone I sit, confused, enraged;
Upon my head my Crown remains.
Glistening crimson, gold, you wonder--
As I bleed, do I suffer?
The Cross I bear, the life I lead;
I’d die for you, would you for me?
Error, alas! And now I see.
So impure, so full of greed.
Third Place: @mprgrmmr >> 150 Trail coins and 6 Steem
Her Crowning Glory
In the shower handfuls of hair clung to her body as she shampooed her once crowning glory. Even in her last days she could barely face what chemo had taken from her. Wasn't it enough to die from this wicked disease? Did it need to take her dignity, too?
Honourable Mention
Out of the 6 Steem donated, 3 Steem was won by @tanechka for also writing a story with a powerful message, this shows how tough the judging decisions were.
@tanechka >> 3 Steem
In his eyes, you could see the carefree world of dreams that once was true, and that Golden crown, which he sought all his life already meant nothing. All of these continents, countries, cities, villages and people became dust. However, he thought only about his youth, which was lost forever.
Bonus
The bonus of 300 trail was also won by @mprgrmmr47, for being the first to submit a story, courtesy of @the-future

I almost resorted to flipping a coin. His entry surprised a laugh out of me, that's truly what decided it, but yours had awesome imagery. You're really talented. These types of things are subjective, someone else in my position may have made different choices.
I look forward to seeing more from you :)

I'm happy to help, though this was the first time I ever had to judge a contest and I have to admit I found it difficult. I don't want anyone to feel as though they didn't do a great job, because they most certainly did.
