Starting right now, every once in a while we'll be running a Bonus text contest with a specific theme. The Bonus means that we'll expand our usual word limit to let our Worth writers stretch their tales. In this contest, your theme is "The Getaway." Your story must feature a getaway of some kind, be it a robbery, jail break, or even a secluded vacation. The choice it yours.

The rules of the game are thus: Craft a short piece of fiction centering on the theme of "The Getaway." An 800 word limit will most definitely be strictly enforced. Keep in mind that profanity is not acceptable. As always, quality is a must, we will remove poor entries no matter how much we like you. You will have 7 days for this contest so make your submissions count.
