Now, Eric has compiled all the submissions into one list. So, ready for some Halloween fun (or maybe not so much fun as adventure)? Then visit Eric's blog and follow the links to a whole bunch of great, short stories.
And just to add to the fun, here's one more:
Suspended
It's peaceful, she thought. Not frightening at all. Why
was I afraid?
The softness crept up her body, cool, slippery,
slurping.
Floating, that's how it feels. Like I'm
floating. Except that I can't move. And I’m so cold. Cold.
Around her the night was deathly still, not even a bird offering a
tweet. Moonlight glinted on water, trees cast long, reaching shadows.
The ooze slipped over her shoulders, her
neck, her chin. She sighed, one long, wishful breath, before the quicksand
covered her mouth.
All that was left was her hair, spread like lace on top of
the shining mud.
