Rewrite a well-known story from a new perspective
Take a famous fairy tale, myth, or popular literature and rewrite it in a different perspective than the original. For example, you could write from the popular villain's point of view, and find a way to justify their actions. Or alternatively, maybe one of the characters has an unexplored motivation that you can focus on. No word limit, poetry or prose.

Who would’ve thought?

If someone told me that giving a lift to an old hermit and a farmer boy would result in several near-death experiences, shoot-outs with the government, falling in love with a princess, getting frozen and sold to my employer, and overthrowing the government with a bunch of furry midgets - calling them crazy would be the understatement of a millennium.

But here I am, standing in a village of said midgets, holding the woman I love (who also happens to be a princess), watching the fireworks in the sky as everyone is celebrating the victory over the fascist regime - victory that took many decades and way too many lives to achieve.

Victory which wouldn't have happened if, years ago, an old hermit and a farmer boy hadn't walked into a bar and asked to give them a lift.

I am 21 years or older.
