So, read the prompt carefully and understand it. You have to write your page on this prompt.

This is a collaborative writing platform. It means that each writer must extend the story from where the other writer left off. Hence, a story is the result of the collaborative efforts of the writers. You can also submit your page for the prompt. And your contribution will be far more significant if you write and upload your page according to the day or page number.
Let’s make this easy with an example. If you are writing for Page 2, then read some submissions for Page 1. And extend the story of the page you liked the most. So that, your submission doesn’t look irrelevant. And after the submission, your written piece will look like this:
