Hell Is In Your Head [Contest]

I want you to write me a story. A disturbing, possibly morbid story about going insane. It can include whatever you want; suicide, homicide, writing on the walls, whatever you believe to be a disturbing and creative way to finally snap. The person who writes the story that catches my eye the most wins. Be creative and use correct grammar and spelling. Also, due to personal preferences, the topic of molestation cannot be used.


The winner will receive 100 points, and the contest closes July 5th. You are allotted up to two entries, and winners will likely be posted on the 6th or 7th. Enjoy, and entertain me.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 7
  • Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 50
  • Final notes:
    Well it was a tough decision between Counting Down and The Present. I love the theme for Counting Down, but The Present is what really caught me, because I feel as though I can relate, and that is what scares me the most. Horror in a general idea is boring, and thats what I want to get across. Blood, gore, violence and terror in that idea is nothing compared to the feeling that story gave me, which may not have been intentional, since it was on a personal level. One day I know Ill be in those same shoes, looking over this house once its abandoned, with those same feelings. I wont bother explaining the entire reason why The Present won, theres no point in doing so. All you need to know is that there are worse things than being slashed and beaten.

    Hi!

    Let me know if you open to prewrites, please.

    Aspasia

    • Prewrites? As in stories youve already wrote and posted up here? Sorry, but Id rather have something new thrown at me. Perhaps next time.

    This sounds like my section haha. It's good to see horror contests like this.

    • Merci. Ive already gotten four entries. A shame one is extremely short and one didn't follow the rules. Even if she had, she rarely capitalized anything so she was doomed to fail anyway. I haven't gotten one I like too much yet, but someone entered one extremely long one. I haven't read it yet, since the title says Unfinished. Im waiting for a reply to see if theyre going on with it or not. I hope to get a really good one. Hopefully you join, too.

        I will enter, but I probably won't have my entry done until tomorrow.

  • Does foul language in literature lower your oppinion of it? I'm asking (I guess) if swearing is alright for this contest?

  • This is probably what I need to get out of my rut. Something that scares and disturbes me to no end.
    I love this shit ;] btw if you get a chance and you are into erotic morbidity read my story examine ;] I think it is delightfu; ;] --- will enter asap

    • Actually I despise any form of erotica, sorry. Which is why erotic stories probably wont fare well in this contest, but Ill try not to discriminate. I just find it hard to read.

  • Ahh!

    Too bad pre-written stories are not allowed..I have the perfect story for this called Insanity. Fits it perfectly.. Ah :|

  • Bookmarked - Probably be back, i really want to have a crack at an insane story.
