Last week’s challenge — “Five Titles Make A Challenge<\/a><\/strong><\/span>” — exists for your perusal. Oh, and a quick housekeeping note: still reading through the last Epic Game of Aspects stories to determine my favorite! Gimme time. You guys did some awesome stuff and there’s a good amount to go through. Soon! <\/em><\/p>\n

Today is easy.<\/p>\n

Er, easy to describe, difficult to do.<\/p>\n

This is another “write a story in three sentences” challenge except —<\/p>\n

Drum roll please, make it scary<\/em>. (Meaning: horror.)<\/p>\n

And please, under 100 words.<\/p>\n

This one’s a little different from all the others in that, I don’t want you to post at your respective online spaces. I want you to post here, in the comments. I’ll pick a favorite of the stories and send that person something scary. Er, “scary,” maybe, I dunno.<\/p>\n

Remember: a story is not a vignette.<\/p>\n

It has a beginning, middle and an end. It is not merely a snapshot in time.<\/p>\n

You have, as usual, one week. Due by October 19th, noon EST. Though, note — I’ll be in Los Angeles that day at Storyworld and the Writer’s Digest West conference giving a talk and doing some panels (so if you’re out that way, do come say “hi”). So I’ll get to the stories after the weekend is over and I’ve flown home, drunk and filled with the glittery dream poison that is Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
