Weekly Prompt: Your Haunted House
You know the one, it's on a hill. It looms. It broods.
Welcome to the fourth weekly challenge for October, where the theme is Oh, The Horror!
As we said in the Monthly Theme announcement, the goal is to get you to write a truly terrifying horror story. The best of which we want to collect in our first themed anthology.
Maybe you had one of those childhoods devoid of “that house.”
But I didn’t. We all knew it.
It was right there on the side of the freeway. Its tall steeple like tower leering down from above the trees. A style of architecture all its own, more akin to the Adam’s Family than the Herbert Baker homes in its surrounds.
Every one my age knew the house and wondered about it.
Every one had a story of a friend of a friend of a friend who did the unthinkable. Or maybe it was a cousin of a cousin. But either way the fool made their way inside and as luck or narrative certainty would have it.
