Writing contest: What's that sound in the darkness?

in #soundinthedarkness6 years ago (edited)

NO MORE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

1st prize: 3 steem + full upvote.

2nd prize: 1 steem + full upvote.

3rd prize: full upvote.

My full upvote at 11, 200 SP is something like $0.60.


I made this.

All you have to do is write a story about that sound in the darkness. What is it?

It can be a fiction story or something that really happened to you. I'm a fiction writer so I really like to read things related to science fiction, horror, or just anything really spooky and neat. It can also be a story about something that happened to you in the past though. Some sound in the darkness that you heard that was either scary or annoying.

Scary is my favorite, but I will vote based on merit and enjoyment level.

In order to enter you must do the following things.

  1. Upvote this post.

  2. Resteem this post.

  3. Post a link with your story using soundinthedarkness as the first tag.

  4. Put a link to this contest in your story somewhere.

Easy peasy.

If this contest does well, I will up the rewards for the next one.

Let's keep fiction alive on Steemit!

Aaaaah, @jeezzle, I fugged up and didn't use soundinthedarkness as the first tag. Do I have to post my story again with the tag or make another one?

This is really nice to look into. I will give it a try.

Excellent idea!

Hey buddy, long time no talk. Did you hear Viva is now Aviv? Lol.

Hehe, I sure did, scammy as ever!

Please don't tell me you are going to fall for this again @jeezzle...only so many times you can jumble up the letters of that name...

Well I got an email saying that they owe me $10,000 from my stash on Tradeqwik. I had a lot invested. I would like to get it, even if it is in the form of some erc20 token called Aviv.

Then I understand completely. I did not invest and I feel sorry for you. I do hope that at some point you get this back. I truly hope so...
