I'll enter! Two questions, though:

1- Do we have to have two entries, or will one story suffice?

2- Do we post them here, since we aren't pm-ing them?

Ah, okay... I may wait a bit to actually post mine...I trust everyone here, but I wouldn't want anyone to be influenced unintentionally by my work

I'll enter:

Doomed
The winds of Time cannot be stopped
From turning Fates wheel unto-
Their inevitable meeting amidst the birch

With high-hopes he sang of elven fair,
Yet within a dream it seemed he’d strayed.
From growing twilight she did emerge;
Piercing his heart like a flame.

Lineage unknowing, their hearts became one
Beneath the twilight that Midsummer’s night
When all had been said, a new burden was laid,
Upon these hearts this Summer’s day.


Come With Me
Come with me to western lands
Where grass is ever green
And elanor and nipredil bloom that side of Sea.
Blue vaults of Varda studded with gems,
Are forever clear and shimmering

Come to a place where your soul shall fly free
And chains will never bind you.
Leave your troubles and worries behind
And set your heart towards Sea.

White shores are calling;
Come with me.

I have a question-is there a limit on the length a story can be?
