Creativity Challenge!
Contest
Our October contest prompt is:
"Scary!"
It’s that time of the year again! In the Northern Hemisphere, the days are getting shorter, the temperatures are finally cooling off, and we start thinking of black cats and skeletons and things that go bump in the night!
For our October contest, we invite you to write a story with a Halloween theme. Ghosts, ghouls, the macabre or mysterious, the supernatural or spooky – all are welcome! Your story can be frightening, funny, nostalgic, whimsical – whatever aspect of this popular holiday appeals to you.
Good luck and have fun!
Thanks to SoftArt Team for this prompt!
