Hello everyone!

This is the post that officially launches the Shipwreck Writing Challenge!

ROUND 1

If you are a participant (check the table with all the participants, the sponsors and the rules here) then continue reading the three options and choose only one. There are 3 different stories and you have to finish the one you choose. You have 7 days to write your story.

You won’t be eligible for the rewards, but you’ll still have a chance to practice your writing skills and earn the reward from your own post.


Option 1: Amanda’s Honeymoon


Amanda woke up teased by the sounds of the teapot whistle. Rayan has just finished preparing a tasty breakfast. She stayed one last minute in the bed trying to imagine their trip today. They were going to a beautiful island of Java. She felt so excited about everything that she couldn’t stay in the bed anymore.

It was her who suggested a ferry trip to the exotic island. They were enjoying their honeymoon in a five star hotel on the beach line.

Amanda is a famous fiction writer residing in her favorite house at Monteray with a view over the bay. One autumn night, one year ago she presented her latest fiction novel at one of the San Hose’s art galleries. And there she met him. He approached her holding a glass of red wine and asked her if she would give an interview for Reed Magazine. That was her future husband Ryan.

About a year later they got married and here they are. They were all over themselves enjoying the beginning of their family life.

Amanda ate the tasty Bubur Ayam and finished her cup of Jasmine tea that she enjoyed so much!

Once she was done with the makeup she took Rayan by hand and quickly escaped from the hotel with broad smiles on their faces.

Ten minutes later they arrived at the port and saw a beautiful white board of their ferry Senopati Nusantara.

*Remember: You have a full freedom to continue this story. Have in mind that on the same day later the MV Senopati Nusantara shipwrecked.


Option 2: Earnest


-- Cheers mates!
-- Cheers Earnest! Happy Birthday old man!

Today Earnest was celebrating his 45th birthday and he was celebrating it with Tommy and Lance who were his childhood friends. Three of them were the same age, all single and desperate.

Yesterday they landed on the East London Airport in Eastern Cape prepared for an exciting journey on the MTS Oceanos cruise.

It was the night of August 3 a bit after 9 p.m. in the evening. They were trying to calculate what is the percentage of all single women out of all 571 passengers on the ship.

Seems like it wasn’t the best occasion for meeting new people as most of the passengers were already lying in their beds.

Moss Hills and his wife Tracy were entertaining the audience at the restaurant. There were not more than 30 people including Earnest, Tommy and Lance applauding them after each song.

It was almost 9.30.

The beer was over and Earnest, who was already half drunk decided to buy one more beer for three of them. He approached the bar with a big smile on his face staring at Stacey who’s blue eyes made him melt everytime he was staring at her.

Suddenly….

If you pick this one continue the story from here.


Option 3: Jason and Sarah


-- Ok. Thank you so much! Have a nice day! Bye!

Jason closed his phone and went out on the balcony. He stared at the clouds and felt goose bumps all over his body. He had never felt like this before.

Winning two tickets for 7-night Mediterranean Cruise from Civitavecchia was his most desired dream. It was the beginning of year and until yesterday he was struggling to choose the best gift for his girlfriend’s birthday on January 13.

Jason was a 22 year-old student studying Business Analytics at the University of Bologna, Italy. He was in love with his girlfriend Sarah for the last 6 months.

It was January 8 and they had to show at Cruise Terminal in the morning of January 13.

She was the happiest girl when he surprised her with the pleasant news later that night. They both enjoyed looking at the itinerary that included visiting Tuskany’s Isola del Giglio and Savona.

Four days later they arrived at Terminal A of the Cruise Terminal complex. It was 8.55 a.m. and they still had 40 minutes before boarding on their cruise Costa Concordia.
