Like so CREATIVE you can't believe you actually made the damn thing up. So, I dare you to come up with you can imagine out of your mind. Just jumble that head of yours, mix all your shit, and make an awesome story ever!!!
I dare you to go and try!

Nice. I like.

By the way, can our story be something really off the wall and spastic? Like some elves trippin' out in twinkie land? LOL.
-
Wow, great contest here.
Are multiple entries allowed? -
Why is it always an old mansion that's supposed to be creepy? The creepiest house I ever saw was a small, single-story building with peeling blue paint.

Ha, then join my contest and tell me how creepy a small, single-storied building can be!

Oh man, I made a mistake with #3 sentence-starter. It should be "One night, I looked out the window and I saw the neighbor..."
-
Oh and I am bacckkkkk!!! Did anyone miss me? Nope, i guess not. =)

To warn all of you guys, be careful with the word limit. Recently, I won silver in other contest, but i am very disappointed in the judge, for she said the word limit is 1500 or less while she awards a guy whose story was 1600 WL.
This is one of a reason I created this contest, to creative a fair competition. A warning to make you guys know. If your story is over 2000, I apologize you might not get anything from this contest because it wouldn't be fair to others who followed the rule.
Thank you,
The Blue Road
