uh i guess i know what option this is. dark rit? yea it's a prewrite so you don't haf to put it in unless i'm wrong but i don't think i am.
Anywayz very creative write! I agree with HauntedAngel2012. Making a popular christmas song into a horror story, I loved it. That was ma honest opinion. Thanks for entering
Good luck

Stunning write!Love how you took one of the most popular Christmas songs and made it into a horror story!Very well done!Love the colors,and all the lines were so exciting.I couldn't wait to see what would be next to come!It flowed just like the original song does but the lyrics are all twisted and nightmarish.Exactly what I am looking for when it comes to the concept!Although I will say it doesn't strike me as being Seuss like since it doesn't rhyme the way I'd like,but still you've managed to make it flow very well,so I applaud your efforts!Thanks for entering my very first contest!-Happy Holidays
