‘Too Many Candles’: Read my birthday-themed short horror story for this week’s Reedsy contest!

Leave a comment

Happy Friday! I hope you’re all well! It’s been a great week, right? New music from Tool and everything! Anyway, to maintain tradition, I’ve submitted another story for Reedsy’s weekly contest!

As this is Reedsy’s 150th weekly prompt, the theme was that of ‘birthday’. Rather appropriate, don’t you think? Initially, I wasn’t sure where to take the story, but thoughts of cakes and candles set me off in the right direction… The title of my short story is Too Many Candles. You can read it here!

Enjoy the short read! And remember: always take a gift to a birthday party… you never know what might happen!

Have a good weekend!

P.S. As usual, I’ll be skipping Bite-Sized Horror today as I’m already posting. Check back for more two-sentence chills tomorrow!

‘I Like to Knit’: My short story for this week’s Reedsy contest!

Hello! How are you today? I’ve had a go at the Reedsy weekly Short Story Contest again!

This week’s theme was Be-all and end-all. I chose prompt #4: “write a story that starts by presenting a highly unusual scene,” and I also included a bonus — prompt #5: “write a story that starts with the same line as it ends.”

So, I’ve written a quirky little comedy-horror titled I Like to Knit. You can read it on my Short Stories page over here!

I hope you enjoy it! I had one or two maniacal chuckles when I was making it up!

 

P.S. As I’m sharing my short story, I thought I’d skip today’s Bite-Sized Horror post, as I don’t want to clog up everyone’s feeds! But don’t worry, normal service will resume tomorrow!
