DGN Writing Competition Round 2

[A Link In Time]

The second round of the DGN Writing Competition is upon us! With kids trick-or-treating and haunted houses just around the corner, I'm hoping everyone can create a story around the tradition.

In other words, the theme for this round is:

Halloween
Max 1,500 words​

Oh good! I haven't written anything properly horror themed in a while. I do have a small question: How loose can we be with the theme? Halloween is not really celebrated where I live so I'm not too familiar with it outside of TV and film...so, I guess what I'm really asking is if the theme has to be perfectly foregrounded or if it can be a backdrop to the rest of the story?

Good question. I'm glad you asked.

The theme can be a backdrop to the rest of the story. As long as it's referenced in some way, shape, or form, you're good.

Great—Thanks for clearing that up.
