Hi guys

I read about something called Papercuts, which is a competition from ChildLine (a cause I'm passionate about) where you have to write 100 words about what matters to you for the chance to be published by Penguin.

I have written the following, about the sea - I love sailing. What do you guys think? Constructive criticism much appreciated!

(Imagine reading it in a thick, male, Scottish accent)

Across the water, they break with monstrous crashes, as if the devil itself were raging beneath. No moonlight glistens. No stars shine. Alone, at sea. My Pandora will need to throw some tricks tonight to keep my body from death. To save me from the wrath of the ocean. For it is daylight I crave, but crave also the taste of saltwater on my lips. The most potent opium, the ocean is my playground. I am no landlubber. I am Douglas McLeod. For I have the blood of a Scotsman coursing through my salty veins.

Thanks in advance!

I will now steal the above work and submit it as my own, thereby engaging in shenanigans.
