Despite the simple introduction, the audience cheered loudly.Chris asked, "May I ask you, what was it that made you pursue literature?""To be honest, I used to not have any exposure to literature."

Our own judges shortlisted all the entries themselves. Besides, the entries were anonymous to the judges.""What I mean is that somebody cheated!" The crowd burst into an uproar.

Who gave you the right to accuse someone of cheating when you dare not even show yourself?" said Yvonne.Yvonne only realized that she had been too aggressive after she finished speaking.

A gunshot rang out.The thunderous bang silenced the rowdy crowd. While everyone was wondering where the shot had come from, they heard another bang.It wasn't a gunshot this time.
