the end arrives in just 10 short days…well, the end of entries for 13 Days of Dark & Weird 2019, anyway.

in these final days, we encourage you to write about just that: The End.

> termination, destruction, apocalypse.
>> expiration, a closing, finales.
>>> conclusions, culminations, cease-fires.
>>>> end-game.

Write about the finality of relationships, belief-systems, honor, pride, lives, worlds. Whether seeking the end of a long struggle, or running as fast as you can from impending doom — keep it dark, keep it strange, and submit your stories and poetry by October 22nd, 2019.
