What is 'Watterature'?
Just like we have 'Twitterature', which is an amalgamation of two words - Twitter and Literature - we have introduced our own (Wattpad and Literature). The only difference is the word limit. While in Twitterature, there's a word limit of 140 characters, in Watterature, . Please note it's ten words, not ten characters.
For example, the Watterature for Harry Potter can be written as: "A young wizard, Harry Potter, defeats Voldemort, the Dark Lord."
Below we have listed three prompts that fall under the Crime-Mystery genre. Read the prompts provided and create Watteratures for them. Please see the Guidelines and How To Enter sections for more details.
An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
Moriarty is a Machiavellian, consulting criminal mastermind who does not commit crimes himself, but instead uses his intelligence and network of resources to provide criminals with strategies for their crimes and sometimes protection from the law, all in exchange for a fee or a cut of profit.
Considered the best mystery novel ever written by many readers, And Then There Were None is the story of ten strangers, each lured to Indian Island by a mysterious host. Once his guests have arrived, the host accuses each person of murder.

Whims and Rolls of Gods
What happens when one creates a story then leaves everything to chance? Thousands of paths stretch out endlessly that separate into even more, countless paths. And then, all but one is destroyed with a single roll of a twenty-sided die. The die becomes the true author while the writer just provides possibilities then takes a backseat and narrates. This story will be random. To save time, the characters and some of the events will be somewhat generic, but past that all bets are off. It will create tropes and then shatter them. Characters can and will die. Even the writer doesn’t know how this story will play out. The die is the god of this world that rolls and everything it says goes. The writer is the god of this world whose whims become reality after the die rolls. Cover art was done by PrimalAvatar from INKed.
