I would appreciate it if someone would

Contact

me and be willing to watch and give feedback to a short (less than 5 minutes) unlisted YouTube video.

In this video more details to a possibly supernatural case very similar to the story are documented.

The word; "Supernatural" (according to Wiki)

The supernatural is phenomena or entities that are not subject to the laws of nature. It is derived from Medieval Latin supernaturalis, from Latin super- + natura.

Though the corollary term "nature", has had multiple meanings since the ancient world, the term "supernatural" emerged in the medieval period and did not exist in the ancient world.


Really have been enjoying the stories and so much diversity.. I'm having a blast reading them all. Remember, you can submit as many as you like, but only one of your stories can win.

So many fantastic stories!



I was afraid the 100 word limit would kill the contest. Personally, I was worried I couldn't come up with anything within that limitation, but I'm glad I was SO wrong. A word limit really works and makes both writing and reading less stressful all round.

The amount of stories submitted thus far got me thinking if more prize categories would work in similar future contests to stimulate even more participation. For instance, in addition to the winner and runners-up prizes, maybe add one for average highest score for multiple entries. A median result should be fair enough, balancing out whether someone submits 2 or 100 stories.

Also, as I was crap at history, I often got the Wooden Spoon in school. Perhaps it would be a nice way of acknowledging even the lowest scoring stories... at least for effort.

I agree

Seems the 100 word limit really lit a fire under some people.

a reply to: asabuvsobelow

Absolutely! I'm definitely in that category. At first, I was happy to get out just one story and leave it at that. However, when I saw other members presenting more, I was stimulated to do so, too. It also makes it easier to explore different genres.

My entry - Exactly 100 words

Subversion - SN2022

Another one I just wrote. A concise version written of a more detailed story

Also exactly 100 words

A Viking Offering - SN2022

The Kachina....SN2022

My short story, be kind it's my first time doing this. Yeah, sticking to a 100 hundred word count, very hard.
