Round Two of the Shipwreck Creative Writing Challenge
Have fun with Round 2!
ROUND 2
Option 1: The Unsinkable Sam
Write a story based on the facts you can discover about this incredible cat.
Use only this source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsinkable_Sam
Remember: This story should be somehow tied to the historical facts. It's still fine to write your own interpretation, however it might slightly decrease your final score for this round.
Option 2: Тhere's something wrong with this island...
Write in first person, simple past tense. You are a shipwreck survivor and thanks to the fact you swim well you reach an unknown island you’ve spotted right before you jump in the water.
Pick an interesting title and begin the story with: I realized there's something wrong with this island...
Option 3: The Sea Wolf
Write a story about a sea adventurer who’s making an attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean with his small boat.
Start with: It was a glorious morning...

You did! Thank you for submitting on time! :)
Alrighty, Round 2 is complete!

All righty. Let's take a look what monsters you are talking about!
Adding mine here! Thanks!

Wowow.. what a title! Thank you! Round 3 is here.
Ok, here is my entry for round 2! Already building up courage for round 3!

Thank you @nobyeni! Round 3 is already here. I hope, you'll enjoy it : )
This is more my thing! All three prompts are so exciting! The first is just asking for experimentation, and the 2nd and 3rd are exactly the kind of thing I turn into a depressing tale about a struggling yet unsuccessful protagonist trying to survive against impossible odds.
I remember having met a cat called The Unsinkable Sam in an RPG game once... And I just realized I lost my save when my laptop died... Divinity: Original Sin was the game. Now I know where the cat came from!
Happy to see you like the prompts! As for the Unsinkable Sam in Divinity: Original Sin - that's insane. I'm always excited when dots are being connected in such an unexpected manner.
Here it is!

OK, now I have to switch gears! Think I'll go in a completely different direction than Round 1 :)
This is something that puts a smile on my face! :)
I cannot resist Sam! Oh my lort, somebody save me from attempting this! #Greatprompt.
First time crossing on Sam?
I am tempted to write this from the perspective of Sam.
I was hoping someone would Jon.
Lets keep the momentum going! Round 2 here we come! All aboard!
Here is my entry for round 1! https://steemit.com/fiction/@inkatieskitchen/a-cruise-to-remember-shipwreck-creative-writing-challenge-week-one
Thank you for the submission! Let's see what you could come up with for this round. I'd enjoy spending my coffee with your story when I wake up tomorrow morning. Same applies for everyone else who still haven't heard from me under their stories.
Good night! :)
OK! Interesting choices... and I thought we had one week off... but no. Probably better, to keep those writing muscles flexed!
If you were among the ones who had to finish 9 stories and had 48 hours for each, you would feel 7 days is like a month.
Yea....THAT one was a real challenge.
