Winter Memories

Is it snowing yet? Or is it still raining in the cold season?

Whatever it is, we've got you to keep you warm with our day of new beginnings this winter. How will you start it? We are here to know your story. And this time, we are not alone. Because this contest is a collaboration of @WattNeverland, @WattTravel and @SeasonalReads. We all have special gifts for you before Christmas knocks on your doors. So get ready to travel to Neverland this Winter. Or do you have anything else in mind?

PROMPTS

We have three prompts for our contest, Winter Memories. Let's see what becomes a part of your memory(s).

1. @WattNeverland -

A finder has the ability to locate lost items. They can simply touch a person, and they will be able to mentally locate the lost item in question. As Christmas approaches, you want to fulfil your dearest wish to know the location of your missing sibling. After being touched by the finder, they told you about an enchanted place called Neverland. You trust their statement and do everything possible to get there to find your sibling. But what will happen on your trip and especially in Neverland?

Write your story within 1000 words using this prompt and surprise us with your warmest charms.

2. @WattTravel - 

December is just around the corner. You, along with your friends, decide to travel to the end of the world to see the first snow. Write a story of your journey within 1000 words if you are up for an adventure.

3. @SeasonalReads -

Write a poem within 1000 words that tells the tale of winter. To make it more challenging, we also suggest you to add one or more of the given elements in your poetry. The elements are — love, warmth, mirror, and caffeine. [Note: It's not mandatory to add the elements.]
