One of my favorite days of the year, for many reasons. Costumes. Candy. Ghosts. What’s not to like?
Whatever your take on and participation in this holiday, I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. I thought to celebrate it we could do something a little different. A while back, there were some posts being flung around where people wrote six word stories, trying to be as succinct as possible. I want to resurrect this challenge (in zombie form, perhaps). You all have six words in which to tell a story, but it must be either a ghost story, or some scary, spooky or otherwise Halloweenish tale.
Here’s a first attempt:
Haunted house. Stupid kids. Nuff said.
All right, so it’s not too scary, but hopefully it can kick-start your imaginations.
I see that skull’s grin.
Dracula drank AIDS-infected blood. Opps.
Darkness everywhere. Oh, the bulb’s gone.
Zombies don’t exist you fool – Arrrgggg!
Heheh. I guess arrrggg counts as a word. More onomatopoeia, I guess.

Scuffling, snuffling, start running, too late.

The old crypt’s safe. What noise?

Do you feel like we’re being –

Okay, you know me. I don’t do scary stories. Mine would be six screams. Like this:
HELP! EEEK! HELP! EEEK! HELP! EEE—!
And, by the way, I am tagging you for Picture Me!
Awesome stories from everyone. Primal screams are a good idea in most scary situations.
And what is Picture Me?
Night. Doorbell. Axe.
The only way I think you could make it scarier, Bernita, is if you added “Clown” between “Doorbell” and “Axe.”
