Final Volume: Switch It Up!

FINAL VOLUME: SWITCH IT UP!

You saved us. You saved yourselves. And now, it's time for you to prove that you are the best among the rest. This time, we need to switch things up a little bit.

Stories can be told in many ways. Ideas can be borrowed from different perspectives. Tales can be reimagined for different audiences. Borrow from old pieces and tell stories from new eyes and experiences. All you need to do rewrite a story of your choice.

Are you up for it? Are you willing to rewrite your story and change it up based on our requirements? Are you capable enough to pull it through?
