The Audertist Community is always ready for some fun and excitement! Join us today as we highlight our May 27th 2022, Scene Excerpt Contest that was hosted in our Discord!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Before we announce the winners of the Scene Contest, The Audertist Team would like to thank everyone who participated! We’d love to see more users participate in more of our contests and showcase their work and talents. With that being said, will start with some honorable mentions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First up! We have a heart-warming excerpt from one of users Loctovia’s book: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Text of Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“You have been there for me all these years. I have also loved you for a while. Your dad has given us his blessing already so, please marry me”, he went down on his knees in front of Amanda and opened the small box, with a ring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amanda’s heart skipped a beat, and she replied a little foolishly, “Huh?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Will you marry me?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her trance was broken as a violin started playing a beautiful melody in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, she asked, “Aren’t we moving a little too fast? “\u2026but considering our years together \u2026.Yes- yes I will marry you! I only came for a boyfriend, but I am rather going away with a fianc\u00e9. Oh, thank you, my guardian angel”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next words from Eddy nearly made Amanda collapse. She felt as if someone had splashed cold water on her face so much \u2026, and it took all her self-confidence to mask what she felt inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What are you talking about?” he had said to her ‘Yes’ response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do you think that she would like it? You are one of the few people I trust, and you also know her. That’s why I practiced with you”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What a heart-warming excerpt, indeed. Maybe we’ll see this user next time in another one of our contests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, our second honorable mention comes from one of our users, Macy Bae’s book with another emotional moving romantic moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc96 From “Vows and Bullets” Prologue \ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t know what to think. I didn\u2019t know what to feel or how I should feel except that\u2026 my heart\u2026 it kept crumbling and crumbling into dust. My body felt cold, and my mind a jumbled mess. Before I knew it, tears were already falling from my eyes, falling like the rain with no signs of stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of joke is this? It\u2019s not even funny. I know that heaven had never been for me except maybe now that it\u2019s raining. At the very least, it\u2019s hiding my tears away\u2026 as if helping me conceal my pain. But this\u2026 this pain\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pain I can\u2019t even explain anymore\u2014wretchedness beyond words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hurts\u2026 so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been waiting for this moment all my life but\u2026 why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as if the heavens were joking with me again, I found \u201chim\u201d standing before me. His face looked dark and gloomy though maybe not as worse as mine. I wanted to smile at him like I usually do, but\u2026 slowly, I\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I raised my gun towards him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he raised his gun towards me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With my cracked, shaking, desperate voice, I asked him\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy?\u2026 Why does it have to be you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now, here is the moment you’ve all been waiting for! We will now introduce our winners of the scene contest. Drumroll, please!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a gander at these two users’ awesome excerpts~!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Text Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNot everyone may like us, but we must embrace even those who wish ill against us, and learn to forgive those who are unrepentant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat if I cannot?\u201d she shot back, angry that he was so willing to forgive others yet was so hard on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could he expect her to forgive them when they treated her so wretchedly\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could she forgive them when they were not even sorry for how miserable they made her life though she did nothing to them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aslan looked a long time at Emeravwe. His somber gaze and grave bearing slowly melted her annoyance despite herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reached a hand to her, saying softly, \u201cThen I shall bear the responsibility, and embrace your pain, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeravwe did not know what he meant, but the sad way he looked at her gnawed her heart such that she could hardly stay angry at him. She took his out-stretched hand, walking into his embrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He held her firmly and, feeling that he needed the comfort just as much as she did, she wrapped her own small arms around him and gently patted his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

His friends from high school were all laughing merrily, the smiles on their faces were etched into his sight. It should have been the happiest day of the year.
.
.
.
Nonetheless, he was not happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this day, Sebastian Alaister<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was crying\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026miserably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tears spilt down his cheeks leaving stains as they dried on his skin.
He choked a little as he struggled to keep his breathing even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looked around him once again, he had cut off a slice of the cake and raised it up. The song was coming to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when he opened his mouth
and fed himself the slice of cake.
He roughly swallowed down the cake, coughing a bit as he almost choked during the process before he finally uttered the first words since he had come back today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Happy Birthday \u2026 to me!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wiped his tears and forced out a weak strained smile.
He raised his head ahead and looked around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time he wasn’t greeted with the sound of laughter, nor the sight of countless vibrant smiles.
After all, how could they?
.
.
.
Most of them \u2026
.
.
.
were already dead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
