Here's an idea for a little challenge. A few years ago my local free newspaper ran a competition to write a ghost story for Halloween. The rules were that it had to be no more than 500 words including the title. We're a little way off Halloween yet but anyone want to have a go on this forum? I'll kick things off with my entry (which didn't win anything by the way!) as the next post. I found the hard part about this compressing a plot into 500 words and trying to make it spooky without too many clich. Dont know how far I succeeded but it was fun trying.
