Hey, how goes it? Well, it's been a few days since my last post, and I'm sitting around doing nothing, so I decided to log on. Only 23 more days until NaNo; I'm so excited! As a pre-NaNo celebration, one of the forums I'm on is hosting a bunch of little competitions during this month and next month. The Halloween competition has already given me some great inspiration; the challange is to write a short story about what your NaNo characters would do on halloween. The minute I read this prompt, I came up with an ingenious idea. Ian, being the troublesome little brat he is, insisted upon playing a huge Halloween prank on his older brother, Nick, who in the short story, will be living in an apartment on the other side of town. He drags Rei along, and though his ingenious prank has yet to be revealed to me *ahem* it involves fake blood and a various asortment of odd clues and weapons. However, when they get to Nick's place, the end up finding him dead in the bathroom, which is coated in blood with a message on the mirror. They start freaking out, and then find themselves locked in the apartment on the 5th floor. I might have them escape by shimmying down a tree, only to be contacted [or chased] by Nick. In the end, it was all a huge prank, set up by Nick and one of his friends. This infuriates Ian, who has always been on the receiving end of Nick's jokes, and leaves Rei shaken andjumpy for at least a few days, but it's all in good fun.
I can't wait to start writing this, and as an added bonus, I can use this story for an English class assignment, because the assignment is to write a short horror story for one of our units.
