Halloween Storytelling Contest 2014

Postby ~MP3 Amplifier~ » October 24th, 2014, 2:12 pm

To enter this contest, just simply write a scary story of some kind. It can be a traditional Halloween story, or just a scary setting of your choice, as long as there is some element of fright in it (no matter how mild or extreme), then feel free to join in the fun. (:

October 31st is the deadline once again, at 11:59pm PST, and a poll will decide who wins.

Maybe I'll try to read them and vote.

Sadly I don't have my german class books from school anymore, there were some really nice stories in them...

So no entry from me.

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
Look at this!: show

Just post your stories here when they're complete.

As I don't think there are any seasonal medals, I'll just do what I did last year and award bacon to the winners of the mini contests.

Drip.

Drip.

The blood drips from my fingers to the wood floor below, with a light splash, remnants landing here and there across the impact radius. My victim, young, beautiful. She's a fine specimen, but sadly not one of my nicer ones. Oh how I wish she would have cooperated...

Drip.

Drip.

Grasping her arms. I pull her to the oven, I have to dispose of her. The sirens...the cries...they're closing in. I can see the red and blue flashes now. Are they just a figment of my imagination? But I see cars...a team of officers outside, guns drawn.

Drip.

Drip.

This is it. This is my final stand.

Drip.

Drip.

I grasp the knobs of the stove, turning the gas on high. The cupboard...chemicals...yes...yes I can use these. I rip the lids off, inhaling the fragrant aroma of ammonia, bleach, acid...I take a drink of the half-full bottle of oven cleaner, letting the coarse base run across my tongue, swishing it from cheek to cheek. It's bitter...but delightful...I swallow, as I feel the chemical rush down to my stomach. I open my mouth now, and allow the remains of the liquid to pour from my orifice.

Drip.

Drip.

Dripping to the floor.

I coat the floor in chemical...the gas is strong now. The door, they're banging on it now. They demand I open.

But I won't.

Drip.

Drip.

Silence.

I laugh...

I grab my gun now, aiming to the ground.

My final stand.

Drip.

Drip.

Click...

It's over now.

I hear shouts..."Get back!"...the flames rush around me...the corpse of my love begins to blacken.

Crackle.

Humming.

The warmth eats at me now.

I'm coming back, Chloe...

I reach into my pocket, drawing out my locket.

I press the button.

It's her.

It's my one and only.

Chloe, our daughter...five years past...

Sirens closing in now.

Heartbeat rising.

I close my eyes.

And I listen.

Drip.

Crackle.

Hum.

Laughing.

Am I mad?

Perhaps I was....

But now I am one...

The smoke begins to fill my lungs...

I do not cough, I breathe it in greedily...

And I begin to slumber...

Drip.

Drip.

Boom.

Boom.

Snap.

Crack.

Hiss.

Silence.

I am no more.

Sure, as screenplay is a type of creative writing.

I'm no good with scary stories but if I decide to enter something, it won't be a joke one like last year. :p
