A Terrifying Contest Of Horror And Three Time Quill Award Winner! |
It seems my condition is worse than expected... To combat the effects I was prescribed a daily diet of Japanese beetle larvae and toad slime. Now, you might be thinking that sounds pretty vile. You would be mistaken. That particular combination isn't QUITE that awful, especially if you put some sriracha on it. About half a bottle makes it tolerable. Have I ever told you about the time I visited S. Serpent and he tried to force feed me a live rat? Thankfully his cat Trista intervened and tried to gobble it herself. But she was also unsuccessful and the rodent proceeded to make itself a cozy little home inside my shoe. True story! Anyway, enough of my rambling. You folks are tuning in to see what strings the Fates have cut, which stories ended up on the chopping block, and which of my seven nostrils are going to be mined for boogers. Erm - ignore that last part. Today, THREE STORIES are here. Each sated my ravenous desire for carnage, packed with plenty of juicy details and fiber. This was a very difficult choice for your poor judge. Out of the choices, one eked out a bloody hair past the rest. And that winner is.... "Morgue" ! A fun little romp with a interesting twist. Well done, Beholden ! As a thank you for your patience, I have submitted merit badges to all contestants. Soon I will be commissioning a very special SCREAMS! edition one so be on the lookout for that in future contests. Also, your voices have been heard and I will be creating a SCREAMS HALL OF FAME. As well as other tweaks and adjustments... I don't have the time right now to create some very unusual picture/music prompts, but I can think of some interesting things for you to puzzle over! THIS WEEK IS FLASH FICTION! WRITE A STORY IN 500 WORDS OR LESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF: A BLIND MAN/WOMAN AN EIGHT YEAR OLD AN ANIMAL The clock is ticking! See y'all in the graveyard next week... |
