October is the month for all things Halloween related and hence this spooky image.

For this Story Prompt Challenge we’ll use the image and the following setting:

You and your little sister woke up, and discovered you both are in a dark, creepy forest. There is a structure nearby, and the door has opened.

What happens from here will be up to you.  You’ll have until October 26th to write your version of the story (500 words and less). From there an open vote will be taken.  The winner will receive a badge, and the story will be featured on this blog (and if you’re open to the opportunity, be interviewed which would also be included in with the featured story).

*Author’s Note of Apology: In the last Challenge, I’d like to apologize to the sole participant for not creating a video of your story. If you’re still interested, I could go ahead and create one and post to this blog even though it’s a bit late.  Just let me know. 🙂

#Writing Just For the Heck Of It

Posted on by

I’ve had a story idea knocking around in my head for a few years, and this past week I’ve decided to act strictly on impulse and just start writing about it.  Maybe I’m inspired because it’s October, and it’s Halloween season.  Who knows.  I’ve always been fascinated by the supernaturals including vampires and werewolves. For the past few years, I’ve watched movies like Daybreakers, The Twilight Saga, and the Underworld series as well as television series such as Teen Wolf (MTV’s version) and Van Helsing (SYFY’s version).

Now, by utilizing Wattpad, I’ve started my own version called, Bloodlust.

This will be a work-in-progress, and there will probably be at least two or three parts to the story broken up into novella-sized books.  If I can complete this story, and if the storyline is interesting and unique enough, I just might consider either self-pubbing it, or go the traditional route.

We’ll see.

I’ve put together a brief teaser trailer for the story:

#Story Saturday: Ghosts?

*Author’s Note: This story is actually based on a true personal experience.

 

Ghosts?

 

 

if you don’t believe in them, you probably won’t believe my story 

As a young girl around the age of five or six 

I woke up near dawn and saw 

two shadows coming down the hallway 

Two men 

one was tall with an afro who pushed 

a wheelchair of another man 

I watched as they moved across the wall 

but no physical forms materialized 

Frightened, I flung the covers over my head 

and in the next moment 

hands pawed and groped at me  

There I lied as still as possible  

’till the sun rose 

I never told my parents since they’d just 

say it’s my imagination 

Even to this day, I often wonder if those men 

were either ghosts 

or  

the dreaded shadow people 

Guess I may never know

Dark Possession

 

There was a place my mother once told me about.  Forbidden for any to enter.
The locals refused to speak of it.
In this forest, the sunlight never reached the ground.
Forever enveloped in an impenetrable fog.
The same ground where a boy was rumored to dwell in
Spirit? Demon? Or perhaps undead?
My best friend made a dare. A dare I could not refuse.
I won, but really I lost.
As my best friend never left the forest
where it claimed another soul
Now, they are
one and same.
