"Scary"
Some of us in the Northern Hemisphere consider this the best time of year! The hot weather has given way to cooler days and longer nights, the pumpkins are ready for carving and baking into pies, and perhaps the best of all, it’s time for the Voice Club annual Scary flash fiction contest! This contest is a popular tradition of the Voice Club each Halloween – this is our fourth year of Scary!
We invite you to write a story that is terrifying, funny, whimsical, sweet, supernatural — as long as it fits our Halloween theme!
