Our latest iteration of the #BPAL7wordstory contest is underway, and this time the theme is WRATH. Vent your spleen, tear down the pillars, give in to the dark side... just make sure you do it in seven. This time your writing deadline is 9/8/16. Make every word count! The winning story will be immortalized in scent sometime in October. Below are the full Rules and Regulations. Get ready... Get set... WRATH!
