Welcome to March Madness Subround 3
You guys will be competing against each other in a single-elimination tournament.
The challenge of this game is how to use the "ball" wisely. Each pair will receive the same prompt.
From there the "referees" will judge on creativity, originality & grammar.
This round will last 3 weeks unless stated otherwise.
If someone forfeits / doesn't finish in time, the opponent wins.
We will record a N/A for any pair that didn't submit an entry. So when going against an N/A, you still must submit an entry in order to qualify for the next round (it may be a drabble).
The same process will repeat until only one person wins!
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ ALL RULES / FAQs/ ANNOUNCEMENETS BEFORE ASKING US QUESTIONS!
Things To Keep In Mind: No need for time conversion. The timer is universal. PM the judges if you need anymore time or something happened then we'll discuss it with you. But it has to be a couple of days before the deadline. Please & Thank you!

Prompts : Match the prompt # with your team #
33. I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together. -Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil
34. You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won’t mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever…. connections are made with the heart, not the tongue. — C. JoyBell C.
35. You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not. — Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
36. With my last breath, I’ll exhale my love for you. I hope it’s a cold day, so you can see what you meant to me. — Jarod Kintz, This is the best book I’ve ever written, and it still
37. It’s true, I am afraid of dying. I am afraid of the world moving forward without me, of my absence going unnoticed, or worse, being some natural force propelling life on. Is it selfish? Am I such a bad person for dreaming of a world that ends when I do? I don’t mean the world ending with respect to me, but every set of eyes closing with mine. — Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated
38. We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over. — Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
39. There's something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold. — Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
40. ...dreams are that: they go in and out of memories and scenes, but they're never real. They're never real, and I hate them because they aren't. — Beth Revis, Across the Universe
41. Each night I lie down in a graveyard of memories. Moonlight spins a shroud about me. — Jerry Spinelli, Love, Stargirl
42. I feel an overwhelming rush of sadness...I'm just struck with a sense of time passing so quickly, rushing forward. One day I'll wake up and my whole life will be behind me, and it will seem to have gone as quickly as a dream. — Lauren Oliver, Delirium
43. It's funny when you feel as if you don't want anything more in your life except to sleep, or else to lie without moving. That's when you can hear time sliding past you, like water running. — Jean Rhys, Voyage in the Dark
44. ...an hour isn't just an hour- but a little bit of Eternity dropped in your hands - and who knows what to do with it? — Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire
45. It is in these moments of tender and ridiculous nostalgia that I know something inside me is still broken. — Steve Almond, My Life in Heavy Metal
46. There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of a man who would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings. — Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
47. For there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes. — Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
48. I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things. — Tom Waits
