**🤺 Genre and Theme 🤺**
The story you submit MUST adhere to the following prompts:
🎥 Genre: ACTION 🤹 Theme: FAMILY
We are shifting gears this time around. We got sufficiently spooked in October, now I want my blood boiling and pumping. 😤 As for the theme, there are many different types of families in the world - found families, mafia families, etc. Just make sure to put an emphasis on the familial aspect. 🙂
Your panel of judges will be @kemmyb and @grocko and @alonicus (please comment whether you would like to be our third judge for the next Invitational).
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
