Paranormal Flash Fiction

Evoke chilling terror by exploiting mystery and a variety of horrors. Write a story where heroes and heroines find themselves in paranormal situation where they are confronted with supernatural forces. But write this with a limitation of words. The challenge of flash fiction is to tell a complete story (or essay) in which every word is absolutely essential. A writer must take away the excess until the story is left with nothing but the clean-scraped core of a story.

In this flash fiction contest we are challenging writers to write a flash fiction piece that is between 500 and 1,000 words on the topic provided. The topic is "Paranormal".

For this contest write a story that somehow involves the topic. How you approach this topic is up to you but the focus of the story must clearly incorporate this topic. It must be a complete story. No non-fiction. No poetry.

The submitted work must be between 500 and 1,000 words. The title of the work does not count in the word count. If the word count is over or under this amount the work will not be presented to the contest committee. For a rough word counter utility click here but we recommend the use of a word processor to count the words.

The winner takes away a $100 cash prize. All writers will receive feedback for their submission.

Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Wednesday, September 21, 2016.
