Psych Ward Blues

Give me the crazies, give me the demented, twisted characters and the outrageous things they do! Or, give me a deep, inside look into the mind of a person with a mental disorder.

That's what I would like from you in this new contest of mine.

~~~Rules~~~

-At least 1,000 words, no max limit. A little under is okay,I suppose. But no less than 900.

-Cuss away, but keep it tasteful

*-Please avoid the erotica, but if you have to have it in your story, tell me before you submit your entry

-Be creative and awesome and disturbing. We're dealing with the mentally unstable here; you gotta make it interesting and believable!


Points will go up with entries and stuff!


**Have questions? Let me know!**

    Hi!

    I've got a couple of stories that might work, but for erotica.

    Aspasia

      Well, is the focus on the mental twistedness and such or on the erotica?

    Hi!

    There's a healthy helping of erotica, but there's a pretty good description of the main character as a sociopath.

    Aspasia

    Too bad

    Oh, I have a good story but it's too short, oh well, I overuse it for a lot of contests.

  • Hi! Sberent!

    Thanks for the honorable mention and points. I appreciate them. I'm glad you like my story.

    Thanks for hosting.

    Andy
