Since I was broker than shit and didn't get together a September contest, I'm starting the October contest early. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you:

The 2nd Annual Spooky Twitter Contest!!

Rules:


  1. All entries must be 140 characters or less, including punctuation and spaces.
  2. Multiple entries are allowed and can be in multiple posts or in one great big one.
  3. Entries over 140 characters will be disqualified and dropped from judging without notification to the author.
  4. All entries must be in English.
  5. Entries should be made in this thread and this thread alone.
  6. Any posts in this thread which do NOT contain an entry will be removed! If you want to comment, please create a separate thread for that. These are hard enough to keep track of.
  7. Rules may change at the discretion of me. It's my contest, I'm giving the prizes out of my own pocket. I can do this. Probably won't, but if I do for any reason this covers my ass.
The prize?

Issues #1 - 10 of the trade paperbacks of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead". These trade paperbacks contain issues #1 - 60 of the popular Image comic series. Total prize package worth about $141.

I'll go first, sure.

I'm trapped beneath a once-wall, coughing concrete dust. I hid my deeds too well. My final victim's gray eye dangles, watching as I starve.

From my chair, I hear the back and forth of her rocker upstairs. Her cat looks up from my lap but stays. It's better we miss her together.

Sated, I tore open the wrapping of my fortune cookie. Beetles and flies writhed from the broken ends. "You will be the benefactor of many."

The world spins as he closes in. There is nowhere else to climb. I fly free or endure his twisted plans. He'll get no satisfaction today.

His blade pierced my side and I shoved him back. We both scrambled for his gun. Do or die now. Blam! Nazi filth nearly got me that time.

She screamed when I stuck her with the needle. Just think how mad she'll be when the eggs I injected reach the larval stage. Yikes.

This one is topical:

A masterpiece! Crafted over 9 years, Dave's revolutionary work was complete. He clicked SAVE one last time as flames flickered from his PC.

I hear a loud noise followed by a pain in my chest. The world starts to go dark all around me. I feel cold so very cold, silence quickly follows and then there is nothing.

The Plague has decimated the popularity of my class. The symptomed are banned. When I cough chairs screech in alarm. Blood stains my teeth.

He realized he never felt the tether snap as he saw his lone starfighter disappear into the distance.

I always wondered what my own leg tasted like, I thought as I sliced off another hunk and dropped it into the sizzling oil.

As I finally gave birth, the glistening fear on the doctor's face eased my worries. The rituals had worked; a new dawn rises.

Worse than the disease: the cure. Military jets sprayed antidote over the cities. I awakened, my organs trailing and chewing on gray matter.

Phew, only a nightmare, I thought. I opened my eyes just in time to see the hand-sized spider rappel silently onto my face.

She wondered if you'd have time to register the sound of a guillotine blade. Unfortunately, she found out the answer.

It's amazing how terrifying the corniest B-movie horror plot is when it's real, he thought as the ghost materialized between the leaf-bare trees. His bowels loosened.

The black, alien substance seeps under my fingernails. It bulges against my skin as I am deconstructed. I become hunter...devourer...hungry.

The wagon wheels spin in the mud, cold wind ripping away our souls. It feels like weeks since we've begun this eternal walk. No, centuries.

The sea swells as The Unnamed awakes, capsizing our boat. My chanting brothers fall to His tentacled maw leaving us to suffer at His whim.

She fell feet-first through the trap door. It seemed to take forever for the three foot long spikes to pierce her feet and through her thighs.

They scream as if from far away, trapped in his machine. He holds the pedal to the floor. Tonight he finishes a decade of living slow.

"WHOSE PENIS IS THAT?" exclaimed the man, sweating in alarm. "Just yours," said his penis. "Oh! That's all right," said the man. "WAITWHAT."

I explain that his shadow people are just part of the dark. He looks up. "Not when they look at you with their white white eyes and smile."

Zombies stopped attacking house. Not sure why. Wife dead, and awfully tasty. Wonder where I can get some more.

I grip my dented bat, afraid to sleep amongst the corpse piles in the gym. The faces of friends, teachers hungry for flesh haunt my visions.

Twenty growths, small to start, ballooned with pus. I become engulfed by this disease, breathing labored. You lied about your miracle cure.

I live in your car, your phone, your PC. I watch, tabulating weaknesses and strengths. You lend me control while you sleep. Soon it begins.

I hate when I awake with a start, and nothing's there. Boy, I wish this was one of those times.

I sleepily place my arm around my wife's breathing curves in the dark bed next to me. But...the toilet flushes and she walks out of the bathroom.

The live feed buffers then a girl drags her bloody legs across a concrete floor. With a sob I realize no ransom will save my daughter now.
