Spoiler: Example

It was a cold evening. The forest had turned misty and dark. Yet, deep from within, five shrill voices were to be heard. Children. One of them wore a red hood, other than that they were quite unremarkable. What was remarkable was the distance they had wandered from home. Chatting they marched on, not looking back even once. No one looked back, but the girl in the red hood. She looked back every now and then as if she knew something the others didn't. As if she was afraid. Whenever her pals noticed however, she quickly chatted along. Her companions were two little girls and two young boys. The youngest girl clutched a worn pluche rabbit. “Rosy? We should go home, we'll be late.” Rosy just pulled her hood further over her head and they walked on. Over time the woods grew denser and denser and kids made less and less sound until they simply marched on it utter silence. Now Rosy didn't look back as often any more. No one was following them. The real threat was up ahead she reminded herself. She fixed her gaze on the road before her. Every now and then however she noticed something unsettling along the path. A mouse completely frozen, a deer motionless, not even breathing. The other kids didn't see them, they just walked on. They had forgotten they should walk back. They had already forgotten all. Just above their heads sat an owl frozen. In time or fear, it was impossible to tell. The mist got thicker. The children marched on. Unlike Rosy they had no idea what was to be found at the heart of the woods. Unlike Rosy they didn't wear red. Unlike Rosy they were greeted by a stranger. Rosy only met an old friend.

Hahaha, I just wrote a haiku, not a story. But let's see if I win *sending the PC right now*

Your story kinda seems like a Little Red Riding Hood remake! I'll try to make a story too! 1st place, here I come! I'll send the PC when I finish it.
PS: Will you take part in it too? If so, it'll be really unfair you know. It's hard to beat you in stories!

Four friends were driven to a home in the forest by their parents for the weekend; Aerial, with her favorite stuffed bunny, Tim, the youngest boy of the group, Tiz, the oldest boy in group, Anges, the youngest girl with twin ponytails. Aerial had asked her mom if she and her friends could go outside to play in the woods, to which she and the other parents had agree. However, they were warned to not stay deep into the forest. The gang had a fun time playing tag near the house, that was until Anges had an idea to hide deep in the woods so she wouldn't be found. This this not stop her from being found. "What are you doing, Anges? Where not supposed to be here." exclaimed Tiz. The gang tried to see where the house was, but the fog was too deep. They were met by a girl in a red hood, who said she lives in this forest with her family for years now and would the gang find their way back, but only after they come with her to see a big rock she enjoyed climbing as a kid. The gang agreed, seeing as they have no other choice. The girl stayed back, looking behind her almost every second with a stern look on her face, which made Tiz suspicious of her. "We're here," said the girl. "But I don't see anything," Tim said. The thick fog was clearing, allowing the gang to see what was in the distance. Unfortunately, this would be the last thing they would see.

And it wasn't a rock.

Ah well, a haiku is a story in it's own way. Poetry is meant to tell a story too.

I won't compete, I just wrote an example. I'm looking forward to reading your story!

Neat! That last sentence XD Horror with a pinch of dark humour, I like your style!

Sure! Just write if you feel up to it. Otherwise, you can always read some stories.

I only have 1 pc, but i can get more to participate

Please do! The more entries the merrier. It shouldn't be too hard to get 1 pc extra, just make a post somewhere.

Lol, the example is more than two paragraphs long. I suppose I'll give it a go.

There are evil things in this world but there is no other equal in such devilry and malcontent as the dreaded Lachrymose Forest. Tales of the forests infamy span as far back as the very beginnings of human civilization. It was only until recently in our modern age when the tales had begun to fade into mystery and obsurity. That is until a group of children rekindled the stories and I wish with all my heart that it had not. For very few now can sleep without the constant terror that that forest inflicts upon our deepest dreams.
. It all began on one foggy autumn day of October. Children were at play in the various piles of freshly fallen dead leaves and the brown-orange forests of the local country side. It was then that 5 children would set foot in that dreaded forest for a bit of fun and dare. One of the children had heard echoes of the forests tale in old tomes of a long forgotten time. In a rush of youth and stupidity the group of children ventured into the forest. It wasn't long until they began to hear whisperings and seeing shadows. Voices which goaded the children to a long awaited trap. The youngest was the first to go missing. This was followed by every other child except for the oldest of the five. In desperation the remaining child tried to escape the forest but to no avail. He had gone to far. Every step now would only drive him deeper into treachery and darkness. It became apparent to the boy that among the trees dead children were draped along the branches of the trees. Children from an ancient times and from times past ever since. It was then when he saw it. The harbinger of all terror and sorrow that the forest had housed. It was what the ancients had labeled Mori. For it was death that was staring at the child. It stood expressionless yet full of malice and anger. 20 feet high with tendrils for arms and black as the void. Death came swift for the boy and the monster had claimed yet another victim.

Wow. That might put me in second.

The example isn't any more than two paragraphs! It's actually one! Anyway your story is great! Do you write more often? (You should)

Wow. That might put me in second.

The more entries the fiercer the competition.

[BetterBushyBurmyBureau]

I don't write very often but pretty much all of my family members are writers. I also read a lot of books. I made my story have an H. P. Lovecraft sort of tone to it. That dude can seriously write horror!

 

[Rsngamer]

sent them!

Step aside! Let the pro handle this!

Story landing in 3, 2, 1

We were coming back from school and we decided to take a shortcut through the forest so we could get home quicker,the wind was blowing and it was cold, my childhood friends and my sister were the ones with me. My sister asked me if we were there yet and I said "not yet, just a little further" I lied, we were lost in the woods with no way out when I heard a weird noise, " What is this noise?" asked Jack, the boy in the brown coat with a scarf. "Big bro, I'm scared!" said my sister,hugging her plush bunny. "It's okay Annie, I'm here" I responded, a strange shadow appeared in the a distance, "Huh? What was that" asked Sarah, the girl in the red jacket."We have to get to my home quickly" I thought, "Are we lost?" said Lisa, the girl with twin ponytails, "No, we're fine" I said "I have to find a way out!" I thought. We all stopped, a huge shadow was right next to us, Annie started crying and hugged her bunny harder. I saw the figure's bright red eyes, and I knew it was the end...
