Imagine if you could string a load of words together that somehow related to each other but didn’t have rhyme or chyme.😟
Now that is really easy as I do it pretty much every day!!! πŸ˜‰

What the hell is prose?

(That is my submission)
A misspelling of cons' antithesis perhaps?

The topic is ghost/supernatural/scary story, not Brexit.

I'm guessing May is thinking the goings on in Britain right now concerning that subject are certainly "scary".

It truly has been a horror story of epic proportions! Not sure all the hell of Brexit could be contained in 800 words.

Title for it: "Indicative Vote"

"Alien abduction" ? No, no, that would be sic-fi. Think Lovecraft, Cthulhu Mythos, dank, fetid, ubiquitous slime oozing up from subterranean abysses of the collective id, triggering superstitious Oedipal/Electral complexes, phantom pains in limbs dismembered long ago, in a twilight nether-world of psychotic-delusional Brexit indigestion. Burp.

But I digress.

Do you suggest that people submit their entries via the Forums?

I think this year people should submit telepathically.

I'd suggest that they remain anonymous, so that the pure merits of the writing and story can be judged, rather than personalities etc.
