We all have that one person in our lives, that one person that knows more about us than our own mothers, has seen our good and bad, and knows all our secrets and still likes us. We all have, had, or will have a best friend. Someone who inspires us, encourages us, and gets us to laugh even in the most painful of situations.

Write about your best friend. Any style, any length. Points for originality, storytelling skills, touchingness, and overall creativity. You don’t have to use names.

The only criteria: the ficlet must end with the line:
He/She is/was my best friend.

All entries must be submitted by Sept. 1
Winners will be announced on Sept. 4
