I really enjoy the horror and scary genre, and some of these may not be for the faint of heart, but the gif above is from a wonderful short horror film you can find on youtube. However, I always want to keep Steemit interesting and introduce contests and engaging opportunities that I want to see here in our thriving, growing diverse community. I don't have much STEEM to give, but it's always important to give back, whether we have a little or a lot. So let's run to it!
Check my previous posts on my @peacemaker account for examples of a 2 sentence horror story
Thank you for reading this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth.
I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.
I've raised $1859 and .76 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $95.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: CompletelyQJS@yahoo.com, but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.
For more information on that, please check my New Year's/Happy Bday Post
Thanks sincerely again in advance for all your help, anything and everything helps.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL GENEROUS AND GIVING DONORS HERE FROM THE STEEMIT COMMUNITY!

Excellent contest. Thanks for helping this beautiful community grow and thrive! Contests like these are a great way for people of similar interests to find each other on Steemit! Keep up the great work! I hope you reach your goals! Upvoted and Followed!
Thank you very much , I just followed you back. I'm your 100th follower, pretty cool. And yes I agree, contests in general help bring our community together. Feel free to resteem this and bring awareness to the contest. Thanks again, you're very kind, I hope I reach my goals too, I'll be looking out for your posts
FINALLY!!!
I have been patiently waiting for this for days now. I'm so glad to see the participation in this. My body is ready to be freaked out by all the wonderful stories :D Good luck everyone!
Here's my entry to this frightfest:
People huddled around, as I helplessly watched my lifeless body in the middle of the road. To the delight of the crowd, my body rose up and wiped the blood off, all the while staring at me and flashing a sinister grin.
Thanks for your cool entry bro and participation. This sounds like an out of body experience with the case of one's soul displaced and the witnessing of its physical body/vessel being demon possessed. I wonder what happened before on the street :)
Right you are! Bro, if this wins, I'll be sure to make an expanded version of this ;) wink wink hahaha! I've already thought about the story in my head. The delay was caused by me picking the right moment to take out. I wanted it to represent the essence of the whole story haha
It was a nice one, but it wasn't super super crazy scary to me lol But an extended one, you are sure to add more depth and detail to set the settings and tone which you had in mind, this one had me wondering about what had happened before hand which made the sinister ending a bit lacklustre. Nonetheless it has great potential. Thanks for participating bro, maybe the next contest, though I am not biased :) I simply pick the one I feel is best as much as I would want you to win
Haha yeah! I wouldn't want you to be biased, brother. If my entry is deserving, then it would win without any question. I don't have any problems with the loss, as I'm very happy for the winner :D
That's good to hear bro, dreemit just found out about the contest, so I will post another one today, I'll start working on it now, you and her will have more competition so come with your best ideas, I love reading them :)
I re-steemed this one, she might've just missed it.
Here is my entry:
Logging in at Poloniex. All crypto gone.
If THAT is not the winner in this community I don't know what could even remotely be more scary, haha. Thank you for this contest @verbal-d and have fun everyone : )
Thanks for your entry, you're most welcome. That is indeed a horror story!
AHAHAHA! Too bad not everyone here is on Poloniex, or else that'll be a nightmare for all. Witty entry, man!
Well, I chose Poloniex, because, next to Bittrex and DEX, it's currently the biggest marketplace by far where you can buy and trade STEEM. That is also where I invested in STEEM and then transferred here to power up. But yes, you don't really need an account at a trading platform to be a valuable part of steemit and have a very valuable account that could be compromized and emptied out.
I'm a Bittrex man myself, and haven't encountered the recent Poloniex troubles. I really wish that Polo Steemians won't need to suffer through that again.
I woke up naked layed on top of a large dinning room table with garnishes on my body, the table set and a group of men standing all around me in red robes.
I started screaming but a man standing above me immediately shoved a apple in my mouth, the other men grabbed my ankles and wrist holding me down when all of a sudden one whom wore a white mask pulls up a knife and cuts into my body.
Thank you for your participation and your very eerie and unsettling entry.
Very creepy. I do not want to be in your shoes. This is the stuff of nightmares!
My entry:
A baby's crying woke me up at night.
I live alone.
Thank you very much for your entry and participation.
Cool contest. Had to participate you know.
I definitely would have too if I saw someone do this one as well
Damn, son! Goosebumps for days!! You beat me to it, nice job!
Lol..thanks.
Uh.. You're welcome? Haha
In the abandoned house, I found my young daughter; her hair was gray, and she had a fixed smile that lacked any human emotion. Her eyes were not her own, but two mirrors looking back at me; a man with a hatchet was ever-so-slowly approaching me.
Edit: changes to the first post.
Very trippy, man. Whatever happens with the contest, it would be interesting if you expand this into a full on short story, or even a longer flash fiction.
Thank you very much. I haven talked written many stories but if there is a short story one maybe I would haha
Haha I see. You just need the right motivation ;)
Thanks for entering bro, appreciate your creativity. Very creepy, I can picture it now
Hahah.... Tried to think of a description versus a situation. I describe and then you determine the outcome.
Yeah it was a unique and nice attempt bro. In order for your entry to be valid you must follow my other account @peacemaker, otherwise you cannot be selected as the potential winner.
Appreciate the heads up. Will do man!
Thanks!
Made a change to the first one...let me know the rules about that.
Edit: a good grammatical catch!
Yeah only one entry, delete whichever one you want me not to consider. I always edit my stuff when i can
deleting the first. I like some parts in the first...but yeah...going with the flow.
Finally, we reached the abandoned hospital, In the distance, a branch creeks back and forth with the wind. Slowly, a shadow appears at the top of the roof, looking down...
Thanks for your entry bro, creepy situation indeed
Abandoned buildings are the worst. Why can't they just sell the lot, have it torn down and build an amusement park in its place. But then they'll have to worry about the creepy clowns >.<
very good stuff :)))
Thank you very much @allasyummyfood, good to see you in the comments section again
thank you! I'm back !! I've been away for a while!!
You're most welcome, I just saw your page and I noticed you have been gone for quite some time, I hope everything is okay, people will show you a lot of love now that you are returning, it's a beautiful thing how much STEEM has raised up in price for us all. Welcome back!
Thank you! yes the truth is i was really down, my business and my things have been decreasing so i kinda disappeared for a while to sort myself out, i was feeling very helpless and depressed to an extent. and i think i need to come back here and start posting! Hope you been well!!
Oh I'm sorry to hear that, I definitely can relate to those same sentiments and trapped feelings. I am so glad you have conquered those falling moments and are standing strong. Just stay consistent and you shall only be rewarded for your continued efforts, you can even branch out and hold contests or post other topics as well to broaden your audience, but I think you'll do great on steemit. You and @gringalicious really bring food presentation to a whole other level, and I respect it. I've been good thanks for your thoughtfulness
aww thanks a lot! yes she is amazing!! i love her stuff!! we are empowering other foodies :)) thanks, i am stronger and I will consider posting other things as well! I will have a think about it :)))
This is my entry
"We woke up the next morning,
and she had died in her sleep."
Thanks for participating. Nice entry, very sad, in order for your entry to be valid you must follow my other account @peacemaker, otherwise you cannot be selected as the potential winner.
Done!!!
....and followed now.....
Thank you very much
Man, that is so sad. I can't imagine what it feels like. That's such an awful way to start the day.
And that is my story how i lost my dear mum...
Oh shoot, I'm sorry to hear that, man..
Thanks mate.....hope it still qualify for the contest.

Last night, my dog woke me up howling to alert me of an intruder. She was murdered by an intruder almost 3 years ago.#MyEntry #2SentenceHorrorStory
Thanks for the entry and your participating. That would really put me on edge in that situation. I miss my dog Bear, may he RIP.
Check out this song I made for him
https://steemit.com/originalmusic/@verbal-d/melodious-music-memoirs-11-all-dogs-go-to-heaven-r-i-p-bear-original-song
@verbal-d That was so sweet and super-awesome. In a few moments, I can feel the strong bond you two shared. He's in a better place now, and spreading cheer. Stay strong, and looking forward to more of your lovely music. #WeLoveAndMissYouBear
Thank you so much for your kind words, that really helped boost my mood. He was a wonderful kind, and gentle giant. I appreciate your encouraging sentiments and indeed we miss him. More music coming on my @verbal-d profile very soon.
he wouldn't be happy if you were sad. so cheer up, and find strength in the wonderful memories Bear left you with. and definitely looking forward to it :)
thanks again, that is true :)
Reminds me of that story "Humans can lick like dogs, too" for some reason. Definitely creepy!
She had never expected things to go so terribly wrong. The charming half smirk and the crystalline eyes had masked the soulless demon waiting within; before she knew what had hit her she had sold her soul to the devil himself.
I actually wrote a song on this topic that I won with in the Open Mic Contest here on Steemit hosted by @luzcypher, ironically, although his username is just for humor, but I talk about people selling their souls to the devil.
Check it out, hopefully you can enjoy it. https://steemit.com/openmic/@verbal-d/open-mic-night-wk-31-entry-warning-to-the-devil-message-to-the-people-part-5-original-song
Nice entry, a classic sinister theme. Appreciate your participation, thanks for joining in on the fun.
Thank you :)
You're very welcome, catch you in the next contest this week
Will this count :D
, Walking around the digital realm once I found an exchange, the economy boomed bitcoins flew, everybody was screaming "To The Moon!". Then morning came, red were the prices, red were the names all dripping with red there were no gains.
anyways
some "trade advice" from me :)
@j3dy
hope to see you around when I fix my net and have more time to hear back on how you were doing, did you manage to cash out some during the surge :)
Oh btw, I indeed got a lot of action during the surge :) I was well prepared, had been powering down for more than a month and a half or two just holding. It was perfect timing
good you deserve it :) I've just started out trading, since I'm still very poor and cashing out seems like an irrelevant chore than some big day :D why cash out 20 bucks :D when you can trade and make 50, 100, 200 sky is the limit :D crypto trading is quite "easy" with all the prices going everywhere it seems its also risky but at least steem is doing good on the markets and not pumping and dumping too much, so it's a "stable" backup to the volatile at the moment bitcoin.
I completely agree bro, and yeah I am trading with what I pulled out so I am also making some interesting moves for the future, you make a good observation, steam is indeed much more stable and that's an amazing thing for us all here in this community
Nice entry, its a horror story and reality in the crypto world but unfortunately you entered in on this Saturday and the deadline was Friday and I had already announced the winners. Check in for the next contest this week! Thanks again
haha well deadlines :) I'm not their friend, nevermind, I will check out the winners and your posts too :) I'm missing on that inspiration you carry around yourself :)
Thank you very much bro, and don't worry, the new contest has already started since yesterday and you have until Sunday to submit your entry. I aim to do this contest every week, and appreciate your thoughts, hope I inspire you
