Now that our summer event has come to an end, it's time to start up the seven deadly sins competition again! This month the theme is Sloth.

Definition according to the seven deadly sins, Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

Like last time, there is a total of 3 competitions you can take part in. A photography, writing, and dress up competition. You are allowed to participate in all 3 competitions, but if you win more than once, you only get the prize one time - you cannot give it to anyone.

For this competition, you need to get inspired by the definition of sloth and write a story that you think best fits the theme.

The story must be your own. If we find out it is plagiarized, you will be disqualified.

Post all entries in this forum. Try to keep the discussion in this forum to a minimum. There will be a discussion forum created.

You have until Sunday, September 3rd at 9PM EST to get your entries in

There will be a total 5 female winners and 5 male winners that will win this lovely prized designed by Bowie!

Is writing not your thing?

Well, then you can try to join the photography or dress up competitions.
Good luck!

There was a goddess named Soella, The Goddess of Sleep. Part of a woman and part of a dragon. This goddess rests at the bottom of the sea of Dreams. Peacefully laying on the seabed of her coral garden. Her scales were light blue like the morning sky, shimmering like light on water surface. Her hair were so blue it looked like it continued endlessly by being part of the water.

There she sings songs and tells tales about the world above to sea creatures. So beautiful and so gorgeous, but something she'll never see. All the beautiful instruments made such an beautiful sounds which formed heavenly music for humans to dance along with. Funny animals with pointy ears and chocolate button eyes living in the forests, big, small, all living together in one harmony.

Soella, the protector of sea of Dreams. Will rest her head on the soft seabed, closing her long white eyelashes. Those icy blue eyes are now open in your dream world. Protecting and keeping alive fairy tales.

We all have that one friend. My friend's name just happens to be Geneva. Let's just say if I had to guess what she thinks her "spirit animal" is, I would guess sloth and be correct. Geneva is in my introductory chemistry class. Well, only on a technical level. Her seat is empty everyday. I wouldn't be surprised if there were cobwebs that needed to be cleaned out in her desk and if the desktop were covered in enough dust to set off any poor souls' allergies. Some days, I wonder if I am more Geneva's chemistry lackey than her actual friend. I attend every class and am trying to maintain my perfect school GPA.

Every weekend, I go over to Geneva's (well, her boyfriend's) apartment to deliver my notes. By deliver my notes, I mean that I literally have to hand them to her, explain what they are, and then put them away for her because she loathes moving a muscle, aside from attending to her "recreational" activities. Thankfully, her mouth and ears are an exception. She makes a great listener and you can talk to her for hours! .. Though she says, "Huh?" or, "What were you saying?" when I ask for her input most of the time. There is also an odd stench in the home, meanwhile she always has a smoke in one hand and beer in the other. Occasionally, I will have to remind her to shower because the stench is so unbearable. I wish I could say she had enough motivation to clean herself, but usually I or her boyfriend scrub her down. The bath water is greenish-brown whenever I see it. Must be something wrong with her water.

One day, I asked her why she is enrolled in university courses, but never attends. Geneva looked over at me with a puzzled expression on her face. After pausing, her mouth opened and in her monotone voice uttered, "I'm a student in university? Cool." Then she abruptly fell asleep, as she does every hour or so.

None the less, I continue delivering her notes. Perhaps one day she will even look at them! I'm such a good friend to Geneva. : )

Moonrise

Once again, walking to work on a Monday morning, the steps heavy on the pavement, a tired, wearisome soul following each and every click from the high heels she had to wear. Her professional outfit didn't quite follow up with her expressionless self.
Waiting for the bus she sits down, looking at the bus timing tablet. A long sigh came from her mouth as she saw she just missed the bus she was going to take. The poor girl had to wait 30 minutes for the next bus and she was already 30 minutes late to work.
She leaned to the back of the bus shelter, closing her eyes.She opened her eyes up, only to see gorgeous white wings growing out of her back, fluttering back and forth, gusting wind in her beautiful face. She smiled a wide, shiny smile as she flew far away, leaving her responsibilities, anxiety and her heavy cloud that hovered over her every day.For once she was happy, the joy in her eyes, heart and whole body lightened up everything around her, all the withered trees became green again and the flowers got their color. Life followed her everywhere she went.
A man shook her wildly, waking her up, the beautiful smile fading away as she realized what just happened. She looked confused to the man that shook her awake noticing the background, the moon was shining. She had been sleeping the whole day.

‘Where are you taking me?’ Acedia asks, knowing the other deadly sins can read her mind. She feels a light puff against her back and someone tightening the blindfold, to her own dismay. Truth is, the others have been quite… secretive, the last couple of days. Weeks, to be fair. But she simply finds herself not caring. In fact, she doesn't care about anything at all. She’s got better things to do than causing havoc and trouble. Dreaming, on the other hand, is what she's all about. Dreaming of somewhere far away from here and her so called destiny. Ugh.

With destiny, of course, she means fulfilling her role as a deadly sin. Except the others aren't fond of her and never has been. They expect too much of her and the guilt consumed her the first couple of years. Guilt because she never did what they asked of her to do. Of shame because they saw her as less. As if they somehow think they're better than her. She finds it odd, considering all of them are deadly sins. Each of them have their own purpose in life and hers just so happens to be ‘laziness’ in this case.

'Laziness’ is a broad term, she's.. Able to infiltrate anything and everything, whether she likes it or not. It happens naturally. Though she does like to admire her artwork, acknowledging that she's the reason to why people fail to act. It gives her a sense of satisfaction, a purpose in life. Maybe that's why she can't leave, no matter how much she aches for it. The others suddenly bring her to a halt, their hands reaching out for her; holding her back. “With great power comes great responsibility,” Wrath sneers in her ear, sending chills down her spine. What the-?

Everything happens so fast that she barely even registers the ground shaking beneath her or her blindfold falling off the second someone pushes her towards the forming pit. Wait, a pit... frozen with fear, the snakes curls around her body. All she can seem to focus on in that moment is the constant hissing noises mingling together with her own heart wrenching screams. Her demise. The others had planned her demise all along and now she has to pay for it. Yet she still smiles. Sooner or later she'll affect the other deadly sins with her abilities, ruin their purpose.

She promises that. And they won't notice it, not at first. They will be blissfully unaware of her doing, live in pure ignorance. She won't plan their demise, though, she doesn't care about that. But you wanna know what she does care about? Proving that they'll never know what hit them, despite the answer being as obvious as ever. The moment they realize it's her, it's too late for them to do anything about it. She'll return, bring them to their knees and leave no trace whatsoever. She's gonna make them regret doing this to one of their own kind.
