    Hey guys!

    Keeping in the spirit of the upcoming creepy holiday, and inspired by the Scholars of Novia contest, I thought it might be fun to do another community writing contest.

    What's different about this, you ask? Well, here's the task: Write a scary Halloween story, with as much atmosphere and creepiness as you can stuff into it, in two sentences!

    Here's a bunch of examples for inspiration:
    http://9gag.com/gag/av0v95O/20-terrifying-two-sentence-horror-stories

    Not only is this an interesting writing challenge, but it is also very quick, so we will hopefully get a lot of entries!

    What do you win, you ask? Well, just the neverending admiration of your SOTA peers! There are no losers here. Just have fun!

    I'll start us off with the following:


    Whew, I just finished stocking my freezer with meat for the winter! Now I just have to figure out what to do with all these bloody clothes.

    The box resonated with an eerie otherwordly crimson glow casting silhouettes around her like grim ichor spilled in sharp menacing shapes that twisted and swayed as if ready to impale the candle light behind her snuffing out her last bastion of comfort. Gathering her resolved she reached out and took the box in both hands cringing as it's rough surface pricked her skin while a sickly warmth pulsated along her fingers and up her arms, paralysing her as the boxes lid slowly lifted revealing to her terror her own face, pale sunken skinned, hollow eyed and with blackened teeth grinning revealing to her it's sinister intent.

    It was a cold and dark night on that All Hallows Eve as the gathering storm whipped into a frenzy and the electricity went out with a deafening boom of thunder, but not before I could microwave my hot pocket and enjoy my dinner.

    Then, with quiet trepidation, I entered the dark bathroom.

    With hands as cold as ice clutching mercilessly around her throat, choking the very air out of the red headed elf leaving her gasping and nearly defeated. The dark hooded figure with a laugh beyond the sounds of a maniacal madman whispered to her, "You will wear PINK!"

    The grass felt thick, between your toes, in this pitch black night. As your eyes adjusted to the darkness, you realized that it wasn't grass, but hair instead.

    I shall never forget so many eyes; staring into the distance, cold, unblinking. Each one bursting with juice and flavor.

    A child's porcelain doll went missing one night, as did a large kitchen spoon and the town computer tech. Kremmling,CO has remained eerily quiet ever since.

    After the dark hooded Tall Albino Man forced Amberraine to put on the pink bunny costume, he smiled, as his eyes began to glow.

    "From this moment on, you shall spend the rest of your days hopping across Novia proclaiming your allegiance to Lord British!", he uttered :eek:

    He smiled at her, marveling at her beauty, and with a soft brush of his hand gently caressed her cheek. He took a long and loving look into her eyes, and with a wistful sigh, placed her head back inside the display case.

    You climb into the soft surrender of your bed, your smiling wife greeting you as you hear the answering machine turn on. "Get out of the house! There is something....", your wife's voice ringing out from the answering machine as the sound trails off and the lights go dark; the sheets go warm.

    The mage entered the room in the Challenge Dungeon and himself facing three bears. As the heavy metal door slammed shut behind him, the mage reached into his pouch for reagents, only to discover a large hole in the bottom where they had leaked out...

    That wouldnt be the only thing that leaked out of this mage! For as the claws came down on him the blood poured forth, forming a slow moving stream by his lifeless body, letting the other bears know dinner was served!

    As the warrior stared at the ominous building before him, he knew this place was damned! He pulled out his holy symbol and stepped into the foreboding darkness.

    He bit deeply into the green wafer, closing his eyes as the intensely rich taste of the concoction flooded his senses. Strangely enough, something about it reminded him of his mother, several years deceased this very month...

    Holding his Holy Amulet up, he mumbled some words of prayer. A bright light lit up the room as his "Turn Undead" spell ignited, and the Liches fell to the ground in a pile of rags, and looking at the pile he said "I have 99 problems and a Lich aint one!"

    You are offered a drink of red wine; only to realise that it was blood you sipped. A spider emerges from the goblet and scuttles down your arm.

    A big red demon suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed his warhammer and sword, and then vanished in a puff of black smoke!
    The warrior frowned, as he was now weaponless...:eek:
