Hey Lizzy this is great, but can you post it under a spoiler.
To do this post <.spoiler.> your story <./spoiler> but without the periods :)

Thanks I'll let you know when voting is up.

Hey all the short story contest ends tomorrow at midnight. I want at least 4 submissions or else we won't vote. Please please participate, this is our first contest and I want to be able to finish it. It doesn't have to be long just take a few minutes to jot down some ideas.

TMEB :)

(Can I do one with Marvel?)

I'll do one. I'll do Loki's P.O.V.

WARNING: HALLOWEEN THEME. CHARACTER DEATH. HAUNTINGS.


spoiler: (view spoiler)[It was after Halloween and Stark Tower still haunted me(LOKI), Bucky Barnes, my brother Thor, and the Avengers. Something killed Nick Fury. A murderer still haunted us and was trying to destroy us. Being a new Avenger, this was haunting for all of us, but we had to stop the killer or the killer will kill us. I still can hear the screams since Halloween when we thought it was a joke of Nick Fury was killed, but no. It wasn't a joke. It was living in a nightmare for real. My thoughts were racing on who could've done this. It went from Thanos to the Chitari to the Dark Elves to maybe the haunting ghost of Phil Coulson. If only some of the Avengers would quit saying, "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! WE'RE HAUNTED AND DOOMED!" Which that was very annoying. Suddenly, we all heard glass shattering and ghostly screams coming near us. My heart began racing. "Is this end of us?" I asked in my mind. (hide spoiler)]

Thanks only 1 more (no counting mine which will be added later) Please note that you can make up a character if you would like too, it doesn't have to be one that already existed.

I don't understand how you post it under a spoiler. I'm not very good at these kinds of things. Can you please explain in a little more detail. I'm going to try to write something by tomorrow, but if I can't find the time I'll have to pass.

So post this


<.spoiler.> Your story <./spoiler.>

But you have to delete the periods

If you look above your post window and click on (some html is ok) it will explain how.

(view spoiler)[ Evil. It broke me apart, ruined my life, and made my very existence miserable. There was a time when I would have welcomed death, I longed to be free from all the pain and suffering. That was before I met Him, and found a reason to live. For the first time in my life, evil had no hold over me. I was free.

There was nowhere for me to go, I was trapped in a dark alley far from my home and loved ones. Someone was behind me, and I knew his intentions. I held a book in my right hand clutched tightly to my breast, my left hand formed a fist as quiet footsteps got closer.
A knife flashed in the darkness, it was coming towards me. I ducked to the right and barely missed being struck by a second knife that was thrown just past my shoulder. The figure advanced, and as I stepped backwards in escape my foot caught on a stone and I fell, striking my head on a rock. The book fell not a few feet away.
The sky blurred, and I felt a sharp pain starting at the base of my skull. I struggled to rise, despite the pain, but my pursuer was already there. It was then that I realized that my attacker was a woman. She pulled a gun from her coat and pointed it at my pitiful form. I froze in fear, my mind searching for escape options. There were none.
“You thought we wouldn’t find you.” The woman let out a low chuckle. “How amusing.”
I rose slightly, supporting my weight on my elbows. The fear was gone, I was confident and assured. I stared straight into the woman’s eyes and ignored her laughter.
“I don’t fear you, I knew you would find me someday, it was only a matter of when.”
She stopped laughing. “Of course your not afraid of me, you all say that.” She crouched, the gun leveled at my head. “Your afraid of failing, and you have failed. All your friends are dead, it’s over, we have won.”
“You may think you have won now, but this is only the beginning.”
Fury filled her face and she cocked the gun.
“Go ahead, kill me, my work here is finished.”
I lay back and closed my eyes. I no longer welcomed death, but neither did I fear it. The woman was right, I did fear failure; but I knew that I hadn’t failed. I lay there for what seemed like hours, but I know was only a few minutes. The longer she waited the more fearful I became. She wanted me to panic.
Suddenly I felt a searing fire in my chest. I gasped in agony and opened my eyes. Bright light flooded my eyes, temporarily overwhelming the pain. I breathed easier even as I felt my senses starting to fade. A wave of peace and contentment washed over me. I experienced a final wracking breath of pain, then darkness washed over me. My hand lay limp, the book lay next to me. I could see Him. (hide spoiler)]

Thanks for explaining. I appreciate it! As you can see, I figured it out. :P

Sorry been really busy. I won't participate, but the poll for the winner is up now.

Please don't vote for yourself.

Is there going to be a short story contest two? Because I'd really like to participate in this.

Well, third.

There may be another one sometime soonish. Probably once the poetry one is over. It won't be the same topic though.

Aw. Alright, then. :) And is the poetry contest winner voted through polls, or does the mod decide?

Its on a poll you all should vote.

And the winner is... Tamara
