So for our next contest, we want you to dip deep into your emotional repertoire. The prompt is simple: Someone has gone missing. However, we are not interested in the actual disappearance, but the aftermath. Are friends and relatives worried out of their minds? Is the kidnapped person fearing the worst? Is the killer watching his victim with glee, satisfied that he once again got away with a murder? It is totally up to you which perspective you choose (missing person, abductor, family or friends) as long as you give us your best shot at their emotions.

We know emotions are hard to write. A real beast, even. But we also know that you can do it and will give some tips afterwards. So give it your best shot.
