Despare's entry -

Anne was born clairvoyant but on this day she could see something new... damnation was expected to be brought down upon her because she was soon to be found out. You see, God hates invokers, psychics, and the such so for her to stay safe from the elders she'll just have keep lying and she must not predict the future for anybody. Questions came to her from her friends in the village like never before, it was as if a neon sign was hovering above her that read "Psychic" and suspicious eyes fell on her with the weight of bricks. "Run and save yourself tonight!" A voice inside her yelled, vexing her in a way she couldn't explain. This puritan village was full of xenophobes and closed-minded fools who couldn't deal with a gift like hers. She'd have to leave, take her zebu and try to make it over the undulating hills of sand that stood between her and... someplace else. It would be an ordeal but she had to leave tonight. It didn't matter where she ended up living, as long as she indeed ended up living.

Judge #1's verdict -

I give Despare a B.

I really like this story, and it has a good flow to it.

Judge #2's verdict -

You used every letter, as instructed, and you came in at 188 words. You fulfilled those instructions. However, the assignment was to write a story. Despite excellent descriptive skills, this isn't a story. It's only the setup. There's no resolution. Since the instructions stated to write a story "around 200 words" there's no excuse for come in at such a low word count and not offer us a complete story.

GRADE: B-

Judge #3's verdict -

That was indeed a thing you turned in.

For using the word zebu, I'm going to up your grade to a C.

Overall Grade - B-
