STORY REQUIREMENTS AND PREFERENCES:
The story title must be the Journey song title assigned to you.
You must include two phrases from the song lyrics somewhere in your story utilizing 4 words or more for each phrase.
Please write an original story based on inspiration from the song title. Please don't tack this title onto a story you have already written. There is no way for me to enforce this, but the spirit of this contest is to provide a prompt for a new story.
Preference for speculative fiction, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, and various combinations and sub-genre.
Remember the winning stories will be produced for the podcast, so we will be looking for stories that "work well in audio".
