Contest #2: The Horror Inside (Or, write something scary...)

Well, here is my second contest...

This here one is for Short Stories.


So, fan of Horror and the thrill of the scare?
Always wanted to write a story that just blows horror to a new precipice?
Well this here contest is for you.

I want you to scare the crap out of me...Literally...If I don't crap myself, you automatically lose...


Maybe not...


Just so you know, I prefer the style of the late Great Alfred Hitchcock...Also the original Twilight Zone (Not that Forrest Whitaker crap, or Outer Limits cock n' bull...)...I'm not to big a fan of Slasher Horror, but if you do, feel free to enter it, I may be surprised...



OK, Rules:

1)Mainly the basic rules, no sticky caps, not chat speak...I seem to see these two rules on every contest, but I am yet to see it in a poem, so I guess the perpetuation of the rule can't be bad, seeing as how it works...

2)Enter as many times as you would like, but remember, you can only win once, I'm not giving more than one trophy to one person...

3)Give me your best...I will comment accurately...

4)Please spell check...It only takes a simple click on a box...It takes 30 seconds at the extreme most, your time can not possibly be that precious...

And finally, thank you for looking, only 50 entries will be accepted, so, ACT FAST!




Edit Prewrites are allowed, I forgot to put that...

    I mistakenly put it as a poetry contest, just copy the prewrite and paste it as a new write. And this is for short stories, not long ones, nor very long ones...

    i like to write storys but it is hard for me to write scary stories or even this type of stuff. i had to for english class but it wasent that scary unless u mean the mans throat being slashed right in front of the girl and then him coming after her with her sisters blood still fresh on the knife and on him.
