uhm, so this may sound strange, but how based on the quote does it have to be?
I mean, of course it's got to be somehow related but ... I'm currently at my second take on for this challenge and I can't seem to help it. I mean, I start out thinking about the quote and I try to keep it somehow related to it, but at one point my mind just seems to decide on running off for good and ... well, now I don't know whether the story really fits the prompt, anymore.

so I know this is probably a difficult question to answer, but yeah, how closely does it have to be based on it? Or is it enough if the initial spark that has led to the story was somehow, somewhat inspired by the quote? "-.-

Sorry - I didn't catch your question before the deadline (glad to see you're posted) - there's no hard and fast rule on this. The point is that the quote inspires you somehow. It's a bit of an abstract quote, so there's more room for interpretation. I wouldn't worry too much about it :)
