Competition: Slice of Life 11: Apples

Running
Slice of Life 11: Apples

The simplest everyday moments can be some of the most impactful, the most enjoyable to tell, the little things we live for that truly show who our characters are and how they live their lives. All too often, it's these small slices of life that seem to pass us by, unfit for DRAMA so common to the Brotherhood or not quuuite what such and so RP is about.

Rules

  • Entries should be a minimum of 500 words
  • Any characters! No sheet, an old sheet, back in time, in the future, whatever. Snapshots are not required. The characters need only be in our SW/DB sandbox setting.
  • Entries MAY be CO-OP with one (1) other member. If co-op, make sure to indicate using a different color or breaks who wrote what, and please include your respective word counts. It just makes things easier.
  • Entries MUST relate to the given word prompt.

Entries will be graded using the Voice Fiction Rubric as a base with flexibility for lack of Character Sheets being necessary and big dramatic story arcs. Show me your characters living their lives.

Prompt: Apples

Examples: apple picking as an activity or tradition, growing a tree, eating an apple, cooking with apples, throwing apples, rotting apples, "how about them apples" for revenge, the colors of apples, fruity fashion, a toy apple for a child, etc
