Heh. It's like you picked the theme for me. Tension? The only thing I have more of in my life is pressure.

Hey, great contest! I'll be sure to send something in.

Do you have an upper limit on word count? Not that I'm planning on submitting a novel, but just curious!

@themarkymark | Dec. 5, 2018, 4:44 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

No.

@glenalbrethsen | Dec. 5, 2018, 3:22 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Hey, @themarkymark. Does the word tension need to be in the story itself? When you say theme, I figure that means the post should have some form of physical or emotional tension, but the actual word doesn't have to be in it, right. :)

@themarkymark | Dec. 5, 2018, 4:22 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Word no. But the main plot must involve emotional or physical tension.

Awesome contest to encourage more fiction on steemit, and it worked in my case after not having posted in a while. Love the prompt.
