It Awakens
As the Kunst Meister tried to move with caution, the twist brought him a chorus of pangs along the neck, till exploding within his head its white vowel of pain.
Far away, to the south, the white smoke of the stalled hoverbike no longer stood out from the purple sky.
Everything in that cursed place was wrong and the black powder was a whisk, shaken by the suffocating wind of a perverse and tireless djinn.
Now he had the certainty that all those stories whispered by candlelight were not only true, but also a pale and dull representation of the deafening truth in front of his eyes.
At every shallow breath, the macabre dunes of the Obsidian Desert reminded him of the long distance covered.
Since he had left the hoverbike behind him, he had tried to taunt himself about the creeping and imperceptible movements of the sand. By now, however, it was no longer possible to ignore it: the dunes had definitively assumed the shape of deformed faces. The Meister struggled not to look at them but could not ignore those soulless empty orbits, which peered his every uncertain step. Those mounds were reproducing his face, multiplied in a kaleidoscope of abomination.
Among the dunes, madness used to arrive well before dehydration.
He almost did not notice that the Tesseract 19 could be seen to the naked eye, right at the horizon. The column pierced the black sea and challenged the streaked clouds. The awareness of his distance made him wince. That construction was huge, that artifact was Moloch's sharpest tooth.
The warm wind delivered to him, intertwined with dust, an imperceptible howl: the wail of the monolith, an omen of death.
The man waited, an immobile exoskeleton bent over the black sand. The helmet laying abandoned beside him. Soon everything would be accomplished, one way or another.
Join the fun! Here is how this contest works:
An unfinished fiction story or a script is posted.
You finish it with your own post or a comment in the comment section. A limit of 500 words is recommended.
The result will be out on Monday 11th June, 14:00 PM - two o' clock in the afternoon California time zone. Submission deadline: Monday 11th May, 12:00 PM - noon, California time zone
The @bananafish has come between us!
Click here for the discord chatThe @greetersguild, a place where to learn and grow together! You might have noticed a strange entity wondering between the stories.. yes, the GOD reincarnated in a Steemit account! The aim of @bananafish will be to sustain the storytellers through a voting trail (I and @marcoriccardi already added ourselves to the trail using Steemvoter). Also, anyone that wishes to write something through the Bananafish account can contact me..this is our creature and who knows how the @bananafish will evolve in the future!
Great intro! This is my ending:

Thank you so much, this was amazing fun to write for you, I really hope you like where I took your ideas!
I would like to vote for @marcoriccardi - everything so far has been great (I can see how you love judging this) but that one just pipped it for me!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you!
I choose @Calluna's story this week. Tough competition though, nice job everyone.
Week #16 is out, brave storyteller!
this is my contest post

Welcome to the contest @muzawir85! Let's see where creativity took you.

Welcome @aron03, brave storyteller! I've to catch up with quite a few tomorrow..
Tired. Here's my entry for this week:

Week #16 is out, brave storyteller!

Sleep Cyrus! First in the house ✌️
Hellooooo!
Here is my entry as well.
One of the, if not even the quickest of my entries to this contest!
The unfailing @anixio is with us!
Congrats on the interview that SBI published!!!
It's awesome that you were picked for it!!!
Oh that's the why of the new entries! Thanks!! It's awesome what we're building together ✌️
This week had quite a lot of entries, it's definitely awesome how the contest grows. My VP has been drained this week of upvoting all the entries :) :)
Hope that the day when my votes will be worth some more $ will come soon for the benefit of the all participants!
My VP too, I also powered it up a bit and took it to 300 hoping that something would change but to increase the voting power it takes an enormous time for us "normal people" ;-) I appreciate so much your help, my friend. This is going to be a haven for writers in time hopefully. The SBI makes us grow, so that's the idea because the more i'm voted by the @steembasicincome, the more the pot grows. All the best!
It only took me 15 weeks, but alas, here it is!! I got around to having a go :o)
Welcome to the contest my friend, let's say that you wanted to increase the suspence about your coming! 😁
Ha ha indeed :o) Just catching up on comments.. Real life has been really busy this past week, so just catching up on Steemit now :o)
Here is mine, thanks for doing this F3nix. https://steemit.com/fiction/@giddyupngo/it-awakens-original-short-story-fantasy
Sorry I had a quite destructive karate training.. now I'll read everyone in one hour 😉
There are a lot of entries this week, congratulations on the multiplying bananafish. ;-)
Slow and steady we're going to conquer steemit! You'll see when the brand will be done ;-)
Hi, here's mine... Humbly submitted
https://steemit.com/fiction/@seesladen/it-awakens-finish-the-fiction-story-entry
Welcome to the contest and to our group of unconventional storytellers @seesladen!
Pleasure is all mine 😌
https://steemit.com/greetersguild/@wonderwop/finish-the-story-contest-week-15
Super Bruni in the house!
Good luck to all the submissions this week, they were all great endings. I'm going to vote for @brisby's ending this week @f3nix.
Here's my entry for this week. Thank you F3nix!
Now I can get to reading some of the other entries! ;) https://steemit.com/story/@brisby/it-awakens-a-finish-the-story-ending-for-week-15
Thanks to you for a real gem!
It's hot here, please stop making me blush! Grazie, F3nix! You run a great contest and you stick true to wanting everyone to support each other. That is a wonderful thing. ;)
you're right it's wonderful and who knows what we can create together :-)
This time I want to give my vote to @brisby!
Week #16 is out, brave storyteller!
Here be me submission, I’ll start reading everyone’s post tomorrow.
Hi! This time the participation has been massive and deciding to who distribute the SBI is going to be a hell..I hope that people will vote each other.
I humbly submit my story to the mighty Bananafish. Be gentle great one it is my first time!
https://steemit.com/story/@flyyingkiwi/it-awakens-finish-the-story-contest
Welcome to the contest, dear Bananafish adept! Indeed this is a clever way to start @flyyingkiwi. He's not only a great and ancient one, but also Cthulhu's buddy.
That's definitely starting off on the right foot, I'm sure after subjugating the earth he won't forget those who knelt down when he was just a banana
"A banana will always respect a kiwi", is written in the scriptures of the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred.
Thou shall not fear, my beloved adept.
He comes he comes! On your knees mortals
Your starter is too tough for me. I can give it a try but I would like to post on comment since not very confidence in writing using this starter. Really sorry if you cannot accept it, it is ok with me!
Of course I will accept it, and I'm happy to see you trying my friend! I'm aware that it's though but don't be discouraged.. it's been made like that by purpose because the aim of this exercise is to stimulate creativity. We need to throw our heart beyond the comfort zone if we want to create interesting fiction .. this is my humble opinion 😉
Thank you for organising this! Hopefully some readers will enjoy my raw writing. My second time doing this!
Here's my entry:

Thanks a lot!
Because my D20 failed me to give me a person to recommend, I’ll nominate three once more. But know this my D20 guaranteed me to say this: this nomination will truly go to the person that has the least amount of nominations out of the three: @cyemela, @calluna and @ablaze.
noted! And you might like @marcoriccardi 's enhanced D100 system.
My vote this week goes to:
@anixio
Duly noted!
My nomination this week is for @calluna's ending.
(This week's entries were REALLY tough to pick from! Well, aside from the ones that didn't attempt to finish the story. Sheesh.)
This doesn't help me XD
