Fight Or Flight Video

Write a compelling mini saga (a story told in up to 100 words) with Fight or Flight! 

In every story a character makes a choice. It's what happens because of that choice that makes the story. 

What choice will you write about?  Funny dilemmas or life-or-death decisions? Will your characters flee and live to see another day, or face the situation head-on? You could write about real-life experiences or imaginary worlds - it's completely up to you.

You could see your work in print, and the top 3 writers will win a $50 Amazon GiftcardDownload the graphic organizer which includes story ideas to inspire you, and get involved in Fight or Flight today!
