Huzzah for writing contests! I was a little bummed I couldn't think of anything for the Feast of Fools event. Hopefully I can think of something for this one.

I also think the limit is a little odd. What version of MS Word will you be using to check? Maragin side seems to vary standard from 1.25 to 1.5 depending on the version. Would you be so kind as to check what maragin size you have so I can make sure mine is correct?

Edit::
My settings are standard at:
Top: 1"
Bottom: 1"
Left: 1.25"
Right: 1.25"
Gutter: 0

Also does the line "[Pronoun] couldn't believe [pronoun's] eyes" have to be verbatim? Would it be acceptable to change the first Pronoun to the character's name? Or change "couldn't" to "refused"?
Basically, do you need the line verbatim or just the meaning of the sentence?
