I'm going to attempt to write a short story every day for a year. I just decided to load them onto Wattpad. Feel free to follow the journey, comment on the stories, and if you have any good writing prompts, I'd love to hear them. This is PART TWO, as I just found out there is a limit to how many chapters can be in a story on Wattpad.

Looks like there's a whole lot of flash fiction story contests up on Wattpad at the moment to celebrate the spooky season of October. So I figured I'd dedicate a book of One Shots to write as many of these flash fiction stories as I possibly can. Enjoy. UPDATE: 6 stories from this anthology went on to become winning entries. - MONSTERS - MIDNIGHT FAST FOOD - SAMHAIN - HALLOWEEN MAKEUP - NIGHT OF THE LIVING COSTUMES - MAGIC POTIONS SHOP Wattpad Profile - STORY TITLE - word count WattpadMilitaryFiction - MONSTERS - 500 words Fantasy - THE LAKE - 850 words Horror - MY TRICK BEATS YOUR TREAT - 500 words WattpadVampires - FANCY DRESS PARTY - 500 words FoodKart - MIDNIGHT FAST FOOD - 1000 words WattpadTimeTravel - SAMHAIN - 500 words AmbassadorsUK - WISHES - 1000 words Beauty - HALLOWEEN MAKEUP - 500 words ComeAndSitWithUs - UNSAID STORY - 500 words Secret Treasures - THE DARKEST TIMELINE - 500 words GothicLit - AN ILLEGITIMATE ESTATE - 500 words JustWriteIt - NOT SO ALONE - 500 words Paranormal - NIGHT OF THE LIVING COSTUMES - 1500 words Magic - MAGIC POTIONS SHOP - 500 words

SmackDown: Back to Our Roots by LayethTheSmackDown

Our previous two SmackDowns were both massive successes, and it's high time for another. You might remember the last one was heavy on the "game" elements, maybe even too heavy. This time we're going back to the basics and keeping it simple. It's just a motherfuckin' sci-fi SmackDown: a heated writing contest where contestants are given text-, music- and visual-based prompts, and then they need to write a short story around that, following which they're judged for their efforts and either move on to the next round or they get eliminated from the competition. But there's gotta be some kind of twist, right? For this one we're waxing nostalgic, we're looking back into our past. We're going back to our roots.

A Baker's Dozen of Christmas What-Ifs by Picturina

Thirteen short stories I submitted as entries into the "Twelve Prompts of Christmas" contest, created by Carol Ann Shaw (@WriterOnTheIsland). Each of these stories is based on real-life events. Several of them are plain-old non-fiction. Can you guess which ones? The rest of them tell the real-life story, but from a different branch of the alternate-Universe tree. Examples of ways in which reality has branched: What if my Dad went pro as an Opera singer? What if I only had a couple of siblings, rather than six of them? What if I didn't move to New York, but instead stayed with Boston Ballet Company? What if my first boyfriend had been older than me instead of younger than me? What if my high-school crush and I had crossed paths again after high-school? What if my brother came out at Christmas Dinner instead of after my Dad's passing?

Hello there! Welcome to my book of short stories! As you have probably already figured out on your own, this is where I post my miscellaneous stories, some of which I did for fun, others are prompts, or contest entries, etc. Fanfiction chapters will be labeled with "ff", so if that is not your preference, you can skip them. *note: if you would like to see some of my newer works, I would recommend checking out my new book of short stories, Stories, Cont.* <>Evara<>
