It's story competition time again, and this one has a very playful nature to it.
Masked Competition
The word "mask" appeared in English in the 1530s, from Middle French masque "covering to hide or guard the face", derived in turn from Italian maschera, from Medieval Latin masca "mask, specter, nightmare".
Masks. We all wear them. The work face. The face you put on when visiting family. The out in public face. But what about putting on a different mask to accentuate who you really are or want to be?
Competition Theme
Join the masquerade ball and put on a different mask. Be a super hero or a mysterious stranger. A kitten or a clown. Maybe you're already wearing one - everyone thinks you're a good girl, but at night, when the mask comes off, the real you comes out?
With the likes of ritual masks, medical fetish masks, gas masks, theatrical masks, steampunk gear, bdsm masks, carnival masks, animal fetish role play masks or any other masked disguise at your disposal, the possibilities are far reaching.
A mask, either physical or metaphorical, must feature in competition stories. Put them on or take them off!
As an added challenge, stories should be no longer than 6,000 words.
