«Wait!» Mary hissed, stopping in her tracks.
«I´d recognize that smell anywhere… Trolls!»

Perilous waves crashed against the hull of the ship. The captain's eyes gleamed as he bellowed, "Treasure awaits!"

@Will-Terry Hi Will, thanks again for this cool opportunity! If I'm reading it correctly, I think the votes might actually be below the prompts not above.
So people actually didn't like my suggestion for Obsession as much as Saying Goodbye and Hanging By a Thread.

But those are all related illustrations I'd like to do so I don't mind which one gets used. Super excited for all of these; everyone submitted great ideas!

evka8D

Yeah, thank you so much for this opportunity I am excited that my suggestion got selected thank you everyone who voted for it.

Mimi Simon

@Will-Terry Sarah's only got two votes and Reberlik's "obsession" only got 3 votes. Those two should be replaced by "Saying Goodbye" and "hanging by a thread" which both got 9 votes.

Sarah VanDam

@Mimi-Simon Yeah, you’re right. It looks like there’s a little bit of confusion

@Mimi-Simon Thanks, Mimi! One per person would seem fair. I would vote Hanging by a Thread since it could be interpreted either literally or figuratively.

Mimi Simon

@Reb-Erlik if you're withdrawing "Saying Goodbye" does that put my "It was a strange tea party" on the list with 8 votes?

Reb Erlik

@Mimi-Simon Your suggestion was great! I'd be happy with that outcome. It's up to our teachers to decide. @Will-Terry

AustinShurtliff

Thanks for noticing this! I will talk with Will about this and share what he decides.

Sarah VanDam

@AustinShurtliff Thank you! Also, I’m not sure that any of my prompts qualify to be picked, but if one of them is, it should likely be the face cards one that most people actually voted for. The one on Will’s list is probably a little too similar to some of the other prompts we’ve been doing anyway.
