I'm Eidolescense or just Eid, a young amateur writer and this is my first story.
Before we get into how this works, in case you don't know what short stories are here's a quick explanation.
What are Short Stories?
They are, as the name explains, short stories. If you've been on Wattpad for a while you've probably seen a bunch, from romance to humor to dialogue to poetry. Normally, they're stories that aren't as fleshed out or long as a novel.
An example short story is, The Wife's Story by Ursula K. Le Guin(R.I.P.), that was about a wife who discovered something strange about her husband. Due to the backstories not being as flesh out, they tend to leave the reader alone with what happened and build off that.
What is the 2018 12 Short Stories Challenge?
I first discovered it, last year when searching through Pinterest(lame Ik but they have good prompts) and I stumbled upon it. It's a challenge for writers to help create stories on the spot and also for anyone who has trouble being consistent in their writing, it can help writing become a part of daily life and see the differences in your work as the year goes on.
From the website's rules, the short stories are supposed to come from prompts that they provide but I decided to base my stories on my emotions or inspirations from that month. At the end of each short story, I will explain what the story was about and where I found the inspiration to write it.

This is a challenge I took for myself and decided to share and anyone is can join in too. I would love to read all of your short stories so if you'd like for me to read them please tag them with #GhostyShortStories .
Now let the story games begin!
