Hi all,
Yes, another one from me, but for once I'm not here with chapter seven of a thirty-eight chapter novel--I have a real live short story! How about that?
The immediate impetus for writing Down was the Halloween contest, but the seed of the story has been germinating for well over a year, and the ultimate inspiration brought that dark seed to flower a couple weeks ago. I confess that I rushed the writing and skimped on proofing, and I'm aware there are some typos--my apologies.
I have a notion I might attempt to develop this story into a screenplay--something I've never tried. So, the story would be significantly expanded.
It's my first attempt at anything in the horror/thriller vein, and might tie in the with another thread here in the SDC on writing and reading dark stories, so if anyone wants to explore it in that spirit, aside from the usual critique, have at it.
