- The winners will be chosen shortly after the payout for this post.
About Story Cubes
My first contest used a standard set of Rory's Story Cubes. @Robyneggs uses these in her poetry contests, too, so go check out her page.
This contest uses a different set called Voyages. I eventually intend to also get an Actions set so I can roll a batch of dice borrowing some from each set.
These dice are about 3/4" (19mm) across each face, and each set came with a small drawstring pouch about 3" (75mm) wide and 4" (100mm) tall. They cost somewhere around $8 each. There is also a small instruction sheet with suggestions for games with kids or party icebreaker activities.
I have used these dice on a few occasions and can say that kids and adults alike can be readily encouraged to use these for creating crazy stories. I plan to try using them in my library outreach programs to inspire storytelling events at retirement homes, too. Needless to say, I recommend them highly.

You have plenty of time. The contest ends when the announcement post pays out so I know how many bonus Steem Dollars are available.

I see the amoeba shape and musical notes. Which was the third die you referenced?

I was trying to refer to the first die with the pattern around the notes. Sorry if I misinterpreted it (or if my reference isn't well enough incorporated).

This is a cool initiative @jacobtothe. I am glad you are widening the story dice avenues for art and inspiration. It is important not to limit oneself. And yes, if you like poetry, check out my PDC3K contest using the classic story dice above. 1rst Place - 5 STEEM.

This looks like fun. It reminds me of how Philip K Dick wrote his books, consulting the I Ching to decide what to do whenever he reached a fork in the plot.

Don't let time run out on you! But if it does, I plan to post a new contest when this one concludes, so more opportunities should arise.

I've still got it lodged in the back of my head... all 9 symbols make a very short story, I just need ONE image to go along...
~48hrs left yeah... I think I should be able to get it done today.
P.S.: I also just awarded a new #GooglyPrize last night, some awesome winners there!

This is my story I am using all the cubes starting from the beginning of the cubes. and this is a true story.
I have been addicted to opioids for years and years now. the other day I had an idea to just quit taking my meds cold turkey. I found out really fast that this is harder then I thought it would be. So I lay around the house just listening to music and trying not to get sick all over the place. The withdrawals feel like you caught a germ or the flue but way worse. this is the second day without any thing and I just feel like I might die. my stomach feels like i'm on a boat in the middle of the ocean. I can't wait for this to be over. I feel like I am running on empty. Hopefully someday I can feel free from this pain and feel as free as a squid in the ocean. because if i stay on drugs my whole life I will end up working in a circus. or being the main attraction at the circus.
well this was my attempt at the cube story.
