#2 SCIENCE FICTION WRITING COMPETITION ... featuring among us!

Competition Theme for Grades 6 through 8
Huh?! You wake up one day in a monochrome space suit, a quirky hat, and a subconscious desire to fix wires in Electrical. Quickly, you realize that you’ve been absorbed into a round of Among Us. Obviously, you are in total shock - why am I here? How did I get here? How do I go back to Earth? However, you don’t have time to ask all of these questions. There are imposters who are coming to get you and you have tasks to do. Since you are in the cafeteria already, you decide to download files when you come across something very interesting. The file you are downloading is called Among Us Origin Story. Without thinking twice you sprint to Admin to upload the data and read it.
Please write us your interpretation of the Among Us backstory. How did everyone get there? Why have some of the crew mates turned into imposters? What is it they want? What was life like before being trapped in the space ship? Please limit the story to 2000 words, but not at the expense of a unique and creative account of why you and 9 other people are stuck in outer space trying not to get killed by imposters.
