《Contests》A Haunted Adventure (Closed / Judging)
Advertisement
In celebration of the beginning of autumn and the month of October, Adventure is excited to bring you our Prompt Contest!
This month we give you the opportunity to write your own short story inspired by one of the spooky prompts below.
You are lost in the middle of nowhere. There is a ghost town not far, and you decide to stay there for the night. All the old buildings look empty and you figure it will be safe, but as you wander through the hills to explore a deserted mine, you begin to hear voices ...and you realize you're in danger! Write a short story about the danger you are facing and how you tackle the obstacles coming your way through the night!
After a slight mess-up with a Ouija board on Halloween, you and two friends accidentally slip through the Veil and into the afterlife. Tell the story of how you get back before midnight. As an added challenge, see if you can feature at least three superstitions surrounding death in your story.
An hour sounded like plenty of time to find their way through the corn maze before dusk. But, when a group of friends find themselves turned around in the labyrinth as dusk sets in, things start to get spooky. They realize they may not be alone, and their company is not the type you want to run into after dark.
A camping retreat to the woods with your best friends seemed like a great way to have a bit of fun and get away from college for a weekend in October. However, upon arriving at the camping site, you are overcome by the strangest sensation of déjà vu that you can't seem seem to shake. Combined with the eerie noises coming from the woods around your tent, it's clear something isn't right. Will you be able to figure out what is going on before it's too late, or will you and your friends become the forest's next victims?

Project Looking Glass: Freelancer
When a game can set you up for life, a man with a talent for analysis gambles his future for a new lease on life. While traveling on the colony ship Pioneer Michael Wolfe and many others are logged into Project Looking Glass, a fully immersive Virtual Reality MMORPG set on the world they are traveling to. At the end of the journey all players will be permitted to keep the land they hold in the game as their homestead for the new colony. Michael Wolfe must put away the books of myth and folklore and push himself to his limit to achieve the start to his new life. Updates will come by chapter as I write them, so don't count on a solid release schedule (though I will try for a few chapters each week). Edit advice is always welcome, but please keep it polite. ((Cover is just a working cover until I can get some decent artwork)) Be advised that I am currently focusing on Hero's Call. Project Freelancer will continue/be rewritten in parts when I have finished the story arc I intend for Hero's Call.
