Hello valued Playmates!

It's competition time again!

This time you'll have four weeks in which to compose a horror story in no more than 500 words. You can make it to read as a poem if you wish or maybe a set of song-worthy lyrics.

Be inventive ;)

The votes will be cast in a new thread whereby each member can vote for one entry.

The prize this time is a lightweight optical computer mouse with a fast-scrolling wheel and neon blue and red backlighting. Do not fret - I will treat your delivery address with the upmost privacy :)

Have fun making your entry and remember that more competitions will be following with exciting new prizes and themes!

Thank you for your participation,

Lo

Does the mouse work with any computer? I love unique electronics! :D
Bella: You're kidnapping me, aren't you?
Alice: Sorry, he paid me.
Bella: How much?
Alice: The Porsche. It's exactly the one I stole in Italy.

I've been thinking about a horror story, but I have questions. What makes a good horror story? If, for example, you were to be inspired by a horror film like Halloween or whatever, you might write a story about a crazy guy who breaks into a house and stabs an occupant, complete with a PG gore rating. That's not what you want, is it? I've also been thinking about humourous horror, but have had no inspiration yet. If you have any additional guidelines, let us know.

Edit: Actually, I just thought of something. Here's my horror story in 10 words hehe.

It should do, Singstar, universal hub (USB) thingy but if not I will get you something like a token ;)

Ruum, I do hope that's not your entry because if it is you are last already - unless you are the only entrant :lol:

Horror is not necessarily gore, it is suspense but the story does not have to be conclusive. You can end it with something like 'As she approached the coffin, the lid rose and she retracted with horror at the ghastly and distorted image before her....

(Dun dun DUNNNN!) xD

Well it seems there aren't any takers so we'll cancel the competition and relaunch again when we have enough members/participants ;)

I'll leave this up for a while anyway so folks know what happened - as in zilch :lol:

What d'ya mean "no takers"? What about my last place entry?

OK, I have another last place entry that I put some thought into. It starts as a traditional nursery rhyme, then I transform it into something of a twisted creation. Part of it was inspired by our lovely Lo. Can you guess which part? Please save your applause until the very end.



Little Miss Muffet Meets Dracula

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Disliking her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And said "I have something to say."

Your curds and your whey,
a boring meal again today?

You curse and you curse,
Could nothing be worse?

I have a friend,
a means to an end,

and you won't have to worry,
about another meal dreary,

Go down to the castle,
and without a hastle,

You'll drink with delight,
all through the night.

As she approached the coffin, the lid rose and she retracted with horror at the ghastly and distorted image before her....

(Dun dun DUNNNN!)
