[@Vesuvius00] It's entirely up to the entrant. We've had poets, epic storytellers, and all manner of other formats. Go creative - the theme is intentionally designed to be as unrestricted as possible - so long as there is some connection, however abstract and tangential, to the concept of "reality", it's good. (For the record RPGC has never turned someone's entry away for not adhering to the theme. We like seeing what crazy off-the-wall things you can come up with.) You can use all characters and settings as long as they're your own creation.
