The Backstage- spotlight contest. (An intriguing drama filled with humor, suspense, and just anything sweet!)

in #fiction7 years ago

Cute photo idea for a group of friends_ Description from pinterest_com_ I searched for this on bing(1).jpg

I congratulate @plojslydia on emerging as the winner for the spotlight contest. The drama presents the happenings in genesisproject chat group during the contest. All these took place overnight. However, 50% of the happenings are real (but to my taste) while the other 50% are the works of my imagination just for the sake of humor. Now it depends on you to fish out the fiction from the nonfiction. All names of characters are real as they belong to genesisproject steemians.
INT. GENESISPROJECT CHAT ROOM- NIGHT

@ehiboss (Narrator)The room is rather too noisy tonight. @camzy and @gunneresq are having a heated conversation about the picture of a beautiful girl they saw on steemit few hours ago. Other members of the group discuss about the ongoing spotlight contest. What is more exciting is the fact that @plojslydia , a member of genesisproject is part of the contestants)

(Plodjs bumps into the chatroom)

@Plojslydia : Guys! Please help! It's just three hours for the competition to end. We need to bring the reward home!
