Flash Fiction Frenzy

October's Flash Fiction Frenzy is opening a little early this month as I'm heading away and won't be here to open it at the usual time.

And since it's October, we're giving this one a Halloween theme. 👻

The challenge is the same as always: tell us a complete horror story in just two sentences. The only difference this month is that your story needs to be Halloween themed.

Costumes, trick-or-treaters, Halloween night, old traditions, something knocking at the door... where you take it is entirely up to you.

Drop your two-sentence horror below. 🎃🖤

✍️ Flash Fiction Frenzy is back in its proper home!

We tried moving things over to Dark Forum, but sometimes you realise the old way simply worked better. So from September, Flash Fiction Frenzy is back here in ShadowSphere where it started.

September’s challenge is ready, so let’s get those two-sentence horrors coming again. Every entry will be published in Dark Descent magazine.

Drop your entry in the comments below. 🖤

Eyes opened, chest and jaw locked, only the shape at the foot of my bed sliding closer in the deep-blue dark. Tonight, my fingers twitch, stretching towards it, and cold, dead fingers close around mine.
