@marcoriccardi. Whilst this is a lovely piece of writing for the freewrite competition, it does not really fit in the category of a fictional story (you entered it in the “300 word story” initiative). Rather than regurgitating something you made for another purpose, it would have earned you more of an upvote if you had used your imagination to write a new and original story. I wish you good luck in the freewrite competition.

@swissclive, sorry to be jumping in here but I would just like to say.......
The #freewrite that @mariannewest runs is not a competition. It is an initiative that @mariannewest made to get people writing every day. There is no prize for writing and posting your original story made from the prompt she gave us that day.
It is, of course, your contest to run as you see fit and you are doing it out of kindness to help people. For that many are grateful for what they can earn by writing great stories and submitting them to you. I just wanted to clear up the misconception about what the #freewrite group really is.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and for helping so many Steemians achieve their goals.
That’s great and thanks for clarifying about freewrite. As I said, it was a nice piece about dogs. It is no doubt great for the freewrite initiative. I am more than happy to see someone use both tags if appropriate. However, this piece, however talented, just isn’t fiction. Sadly this means it is not really meant to be in an area asking for fictional stories. No problem with leaving it here though.
Thank you for your comment!
It's fair: it's not fiction, it's something more similar to a stream of consciousness. I guess I can retry until January 8th, with something more adequate to the contest (and still a freewrite: many of them that I wrote in the past were fiction).
Of course you can. Something from your imagination with a plot and ending. Eg happy ending, surprise ending, mystery ending, or a moral to learn.
@swissclive, sorry for bothering you again, but I don't want to do wrong a second time.
I wrote another story: it's fictional, it's under 300 words, and it has even a sort of ending, but I'm not sure if it fits. Before I add the tag and I put the link in your post, can you please check it?
