The Cannibal Tales are Tales that were told for contests back in the days. In this thread you have to tell a story based on the info I give you. You get to pick from different people's perspectives, or in first person too.

I will give you the theme, characters, setting, and problem. Then you write the rest. Including the solution.

Then I will judge to see who's story is the best. There will be a max. and min. word limit. The winner could recieve a merit. But I haven't asked permission yet.

First Theme

On a Pirate Ship

Characters: A Stowaway (Jack), a girl (Liz) The Captain (Robert) The Lookout (Bernard). You must use all of those characters but you can also add your own.

Problem: Liz is a visitor who must be protected. She is supposed to be learning but she ends up falling in love with (you get to pick)

Setting: They are on a Pirate Ship delivering goods to (somewhere in Africa you choose) they are from New Zealand.

This tale must be 500 to 750 words.

So are you going to write a story?

It's not sign-ups, I just want to know.

I might xD
Might be fun.
Is there a deadline?
Also, why the odd thread title?
I see no cannibals...

Because long ago people told tales and for some reason they were called cannibal tales.

So I just picked it. Yay 2 possible people.
