Written for Chuck Wendig’s writing prompt: “A horror story in three sentences”
Good one Carol I must have a look a this challenge. I remember reading the two sentence horror stories some time ago.
You get a whole range of horror prompts around Halloween. The challenge is to find one that actually sparks interest.
Thanks Carol, have a good day.
Now that’s distilled essence!
Glad that you think so. 😀
