Challenge

Write an imaginary 300 word story inspired by the theme of freedom

What does the word FREEDOM mean?

For you, it may mean the beginning of the summer holidays, being outside with friends or spending time in Nature. Perhaps it might even mean being able to use an electronic device for as long as you want!

Whatever your feelings about FREEDOM, you need to think of the most interesting idea for a short story that illustrates the idea of FREEDOM with imagination, style and emotion.

So, imagine an idea for your story now.

Should your story about freedom be about an astronaut on a spacewalk?

Or should it be about a prisoner trying to escape from prison?

Or perhaps it is about someone who just wants freedom to be themselves?

Whatever you decide, you need to write your short story in 300 words and impress the judges with your original take on this theme.
