Calling all ghosts and ghouls!  

Do you like to write?

Then creep your way into our Wicked Good Writing Contest!

The Youth Services Department challenges all warlocks, vampires, ghosts, and children to write a two-sentence, scary (or not so scary) story.

That's right, only TWO SENTENCES!

Here are some previous entries: 

I am going to be a pumpkin for Halloween.  Because I like pumpkins.

AND

The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 7:07 before she pushed her long, rotting fingernails through my chest, her other hand muffling my screams.  I sat bolt upright, relieved it was only a dream, but as I saw my alarm clock read 7:06 I heard my closet door open.

Entries will be accepted between October 13th and October 29th.
