I think I told y'all about the contest Xomba is having. It's for spooky/scary/suspensful stories. Tonight I entered my second story. I actually think I might be in the running for this contest! It would be so cool to actually win something! Even third place would be great! If you read the story please let me know what you think.

Hi sunnflr...

I read your story. It's quite a tale. I'm no critic so I can only share that it somehow managed to keep me reading in suspense. There is no doubt a talent in you. I hope you win the contest to further your pursuit of your gift. I'm new here at mylot so I'll go back to find your first story. Post of your endeavors again...you may have a following in me.

Happy mylotting...

Thank you so much for reading it! I'm glad you liked the story. The other one I have on Xomba is called Taking a Stand. You can find it on their site by that. I have entered a short story contest on the Accentuate Writers Forum also. Won't hear about it until November. I'm having fun writing my little stories.

you go girl... i know someday you'll find your reward from writing. let's just say it will be icing on your cake as writing to writers is a gift worth sharing on its own.

i'll see you around then...happy mylotting...

You're right. I love to write whether I win anything or not. It's just fun using my imagination.

The last line was hilarious.. I was really getting into the story and enjoying it but the last line knocked me for a loop.. That was pretty good writing.. I believe that would qualify for a spooky/scary/suspensful story.. I read Stephen King, Dean Koontz and other books like that, so I was really getting into it.. I think that you are very good, but in a real book you couldn't throw that last line in, your readers would be wanting to kill for that trick.. I just finished reading The Long Walk by Stephen King, written as Richard Bachman and it didn't end right, I was really ready to email him and give him a mouthful, as I thought that he owed me a better ending after I had read all of the book and that was all that I got.. Good luck to you, looks like you could have a great career in writing.. Have a great day..

Thank you so much. I'm glad you really enjoyed it. I like to add twist at the end. I actually had to add more to that story to make people understand it. When I first wrote it, folks on the writing forum were lost. Least I got it right now!

I hate books that end wrong, or just leave you with that Huh? feeling.

Oh man that is a freaky story, just the intrigue alone gets me wondering what the hoot is going to happen. Great job, I'm crossing my fingers for you but its sure hard to type like this.:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnflr (880)   ranked 14 out of 6,451 in writing  1 year ago

I'm glad you liked it. It would be so cool to win the contest. I'm sure more people will join before the deadline though. Just have to wait and see.

Cross your toes too, ok?

Hi sunnflr.
I read your story and it sure is creepy! I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on! Hope you win the short story contest. It seems you have quite a knack for writing stories.

But it did make sense in the end, right?

Thanks for the good luck wishes.
