ATS One Hundred Words CAMPFIRE TALES contest entry - gordi - 08-29-2020 The current Short Story Contest on ATS is a word-limited "Campfire Tales" one. In 100 words or less... tell a short story that contains or relates to the theme "Campfire Tales" Quite a challenge! Here is my wee try at it... There Are No Rules The wood crackles, with rising hackles... a chill is in the air. The Witches' cackles, and howling Jackals... contribute to despair. A tree bough creaks, my knees feel weak... a shiver on my spine. As circus freaks, and creepy geeks, stalk the neighborhood... just like mine. A bat in flight, on darkest night, the moon... a merest glow, Seeks neck to bite, there's no respite, as words (like blood) doth flow. Hook-Hand, Phantoms, Ghosts and Ghouls... no wonder my face pales. For it's not random, there are no rules, when it comes to Campfire Tales. THE END |
