Argh, I can't believe I overshot even the second deadline!

Sorry all for the delay, but after many weary nights tapping (slowly) away at my keyboard I've finally completed my story (coming in at a painful 9500 words - ouch). Inspired by the spooky nature of the challenge picture the theme I chose was horror/comedy, and it's my first semi-serious attempt at story writing.
Warning: For those game enough to read it, make sure you have a strong stomach, as it gets rather gory by the end.

You can read my story here: Till Death Do Us Part

Enjoy!
