About a month ago, LitReactor.com announced “Scare Us!”, the site’s first short story competition. From the get go, I didn’t have any plans to enter. I’ve not written many short stories, I’m not a horror fan, and I’ve never ever considered writing any of my own. So when I saw the competition, I simply contented myself with looking forward to reading the submissions.
That was, until a confluence of events conspired against my horror-hating self. Around 11:30 one night, I had an idea, born of real life experience (not my own), an interest in psychological pain, and a few twisted imaginings. Over the next three hours later, “Itch” slowly emerged.
I went back to the “Scare Us!” page and read the directions more closely. They were pretty strict. Must be under 4,000 words. Set in your hometown. Features an original monster. At least 3 deaths. I expected these guidelines to be a pain, but they ended up providing a pretty unique the frame for the story (if I do say so myself).
Anyway, LitReactor released the winners today, and I placed! Obviously I wish I had won, but since it’s my very first attempt at horror and only my third or fourth attempt at short fiction, I’m pretty pleased.

Therefore, it becomes quite embarrassing for a man facing the online viagra pills problem. All of their physicians are also professionals and online levitra canada experienced. This is mostly because one of the main reasons why people suffer from complications brought on by unica-web.com cialis in canada pharmacy is down to the simple fact that they do experience the ill effects of impotence.
I’m not going to post it here because I’m going to look into publication eventually, but if you want to read it, head over to LitReactor.com and check it out “ITCH.” You may have to create a log-in, but it’s free to sign up, takes about 3 seconds, and grants you access to a bunch of terrifying fiction…for FREE!
So head on over and check it out. I’d love to hear what you think. But fair warning: don’t read it ITCH if you have plans to eat any time soon. 😉
Thanks for reading.
