@ghost-of-a-duke saidI think we can look forward to some interesting twists. 🙂
No, I think you played it well. Will be good to see how the different writers incorporate those words. (I can see ways they could be used creatively).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYes, this is the most difficult part, hacking bits out because you're way over the limit.

The scary thing about writing a short story (whatever the genre) is managing the word count. Nothing worse than writing a good beginning but not having enough words left to do justice to the ending.
What IS the limit for this year's competition, anyways?

@torunn saidWas it superstition that caused her Torunn from the phantom into the twilight zone.
