someone should make a keyboard layout where the first six letters of the top row are DVORAK

🕯️ Oli’s Inkwell Symposium Presents 🕯️

Halloween Writing Challenge 1:

Monsters in the Mirror

Prompt:

🎭 We all wear masks, but what happens when that mask slips? For this challenge, write a chilling short story or flash fiction where a character’s hidden, monstrous nature reveals itself at a seemingly innocent Halloween gathering.

Is the monster literal, or does it come from within? As fear takes hold, identities blur and the true horrors emerge.

Focus on psychological horror, exploring themes of self-deception, suppressed desires, and twisted identity.

The monster in your story can be metaphorical or literal, but make sure the story challenges the character’s—and the reader’s—perception of who the real monster is.

The story should contain elements of dark transformation (physical, mental, or emotional), making the reader question the true nature of monstrosity.

⚡ The Twist: The true ‘monster’ should be unexpected. By the end of the story, reveal a hidden truth that changes everything the reader thought they knew.

🕸️ Word Count: 700–2,000 words. Keep it tight and packed with suspense.

🦇 Bonus: Subtly introduce classic horror tropes, with a fresh twist.

🕷️ How to Enter:

The Edge of Sleep is the first show I’ve watched in YEARS to make me physically sit on the edge of my seat. It’s such a captivating show. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best thing I have seen in years. The storyline is perfect and the acting is amazing. Markiplier you did amazing ♥️

Look at these stickers my brain is literally so huge. God. I love them so much.

I hadn't tried to do a sticker sheet at home before because I knew it would be difficult, and I was right! Getting the cut lines to line up with the print was super hard and there were many failed attempts, but it was so worth it I'm so happy with them!!!

This sticker sheet is for my patrons this month ^^
