Best Friends

Through thick and thin, your best friend always has your back, and you can always count on them. Friends who are near and dear can be hard to come by and we think best friends deserve some extra love and appreciation!

For this week's challenge, let's thank our ride-or-dies. Write an open letter to your best friend thanking them for always being there for you and being a light in your life. Use the opportunity to show some gratitude for their friendship—what they mean to you, why they're so special, and why you'll always be besties.

For your story to be eligible, it must be between 600 and 5,000 words and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Stories published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until September 17, 2020, at 11:59 PM EST will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
