Spooky Challenge - Day 3
Today’s prompt is from my friend from Pseudopod, Alex Hofelich. He and I share a mutual love of Mothman, which should come as no surprise that his prompt for me is: Mothman's badonk.
Spooky Challenge - Day 1
The first story of my annual writing challenge! Join me for the next seven days for spooky stories!
Today’s prompt from Marilyn D: It’s your last year of trick-or-treating, and your parents have let you go alone. At your last house, you ask to use the restroom, and when you leave the house, you realize the streets are all empty and all the lights along the street are out… including the house you were just in.

Writing Challenge Day 7
Day 6’s prompt is: Someone is celebrating Halloween alone... in space! On a space station overlooking Earth (or Earthlike planet), or perhaps a colony ship where everyone else is in cryo-sleep. Then they begin to see/hear things. Something tragic from their past? Or something more overtly scary and pulpy? You decide!
