Weekly Wattpad Contests

Contest #46

(It's a loading screen. You observe the picture - a fantastic landscape filled with dragons, beasts, heroes and villains while the machine purrs - and much too soon it's replaced by a cutscene. The story unfolds, the challenge to normal life initiates, and the hero's journey begins. But something strange happens, before you're allowed to take the reins and run off with the story: A character dressed in red and blue approaches and asks,

"Who are you?"

You think about it for a moment. You have an idea about who are, as a person. You know the things you like, and the things which annoy you. You are well aware of your name and your favourite colour, and maybe you should tell the character that. But you hesitate.

There's an unspoken challenge in the question, and perhaps you must address it. It seem undignifying, to ask who you are with such an air of uninterest, indifference. It implies that you have faults - which you must admit you do - that he's seen before, that you're just like every other player to ever play the game with him.

More than that, however, you suspect there's an invitation to opportunity. He's giving you the chance to think critically about your flaws and virtues, and he's giving you the gift of re-inventing yourself.

The question is, "Who are you?", but you know that what he really wants to know is,

"Who do you want to be?"

And, perhaps, you think, you should tell him that.)

Due date is on Sunday the 12th of May.
