Yeppers! I've read them all, well, except Imps'. Her's is new. But really, I don't know about everyone else, I'm entering just for the fun of it. Writing under 500 words is a real challenge, but it was fun! Very Happy

Isn't that the more important factor? Hehe... Then again... Wink

That was actually fun. Smile I had to cut out about 30 words after I'd gotten all done, but I did it!

I have to say, all the stories are good, and it's fun reading them. You really get into the spirit of Halloween.

I'm not sure if I'd strike a deal with the devil, nor deal with walking scarecrows, and not to mention playing keeps with Death itself, haha.

Aside from that, I wish when I was younger I could snag candy without wearing a costume some nights, LOL! And we've heard of serial killers but I've yet to meet a "cereal" killer!

Good stuff guys!

Definitely. The deadline isn't until October 31, so you can do as much editing as you want until then.

Wow--great work, all! The ones I've read so far have been very creative. These stories, along with the site's layout completely get me in the Halloween spirit! Plus, it helps to forget that NaNo starts the day after Halloween. O.o

Blah... I'm not worried only because I don't expect to win, lol. I entered for the fun and challenge of it all.

Writing a story under 500 words I found is quite the challenge, and it was very entertaining for me.

I can't wait to see who the winners are! Very Happy
