It is the month of October and Halloween is just around the corner. It is a time where our fears come alive s ghouls and ghosts of the night. The dead rises, vampires seek our blood, and writers thrive off the grimness of the air! However, not all things we fear are monsters, but fears that we have from everyday life which in some ways, are more frightening than any Frankenstein. For this contest I ask writers to write a story based on their greatest fears. Your story should present what your biggest fear is whether it be spiders, heights, loneliness, or death and present in a creative way that seems horrific. Your characters could be you and your friends, or completely fictional. 

For example, if your greatest fear is loneliness then perhaps you would write a story in which people who are alone in the world are hunted unless they can bond with a friend or family member. Or if your fear is snakes then it could simply be a story about a character confronting a horde of them inside his/her own home!

Turn your fear into inspiration for a creative and unique story that is rich in literary prowess! The story should fit into the Horror genre and should on a considerable level be frightening. To be "scary" can be interpreted in anyway that fits your story.  There is no word limit for this contest, however I do not wish to read novels. Though if your story takes a few chapters then so be it, it is your story!

Requirements: Story centered around a great fear.
No Word Limit
