“A day in the life of …..”
It is with great excitement that we get to the second half of the year and open the gates to young creative juices. Kruger2Canyon News is happy to launch their first story competition.
We are calling on all young writers aged 14 years and younger – we want your stories!
“A day in the life of ….” – you fill in the gaps. A dragon doing it homework. Your dog on a Saturday. A raindrop falling from a cloud to the sea. A superhero on their day off. Pick a character, real or imagined, and tell us about one day in their life. Make us laugh, make us think, maybe make us cry, but surprise us.
