Welcome to our 2019 $500 Halloween Horror 50 Word Story Contest. Yes, that’s right. It’s already here. Every year we run our contests, and those of you who have been frequent readers, this is what you’ve been waiting for.
First we will be doing a print issue! We will be doing 2 print issues, and we will pick entries from this contest to be in our issue. If you had a 50 word story designated to be in our print issue, from a past contest, please contact us.
Second, we will be giving out a $500 reward for the best 50 word horror story. This is not easy for us. Every Writer is not doing as well as it did in the past, but we want your stories. I believe writers should get paid for their work. I wish we could pay all of our writers, but it’s just impossible. So $500 for 50 words, I think is a unique and valuable statement to our readers. Ten dollars a word is what all writers really deserve.
So here are the rules:
• Story must be scary
• Story must be 50 words
• Story must be original and your own
• Story may not be published elsewhere
• Story must have a title (does NOT count in word count)
• Deadline is October 25, 2019
• Enter as many times as you want
• Story must be written in the comments below!
• Be nice or be disqualified
I love these stories. This is one of favorite traditions of Every Writer. I look forward to this every year, and this year I have extended the time we are going to spend with the contest.
The winners will:
• Be announced on October 31, 2019
• Will get $500
• Will be published in our digital and print issue.
• Will get an author page on our site
There is no entry fee for this contest. It would help us out greatly if you would donate 1$ or more, if you can, to help out the site. We would really appreciate it. A donation will not be considered in the deciding this contest.
If you want to keep up with me on Twitter, please follow me at @everywriter, I follow back all writers.
Good luck, and let the writing begin.

We Buried my brother today. Suicide. He thought something evil was haunting him. He’d been medicated, institutionalized, shocked and secluded. He found his own way out. I wish I could tell him I’m sorry. Or had listened more closely. Because, when I got home, it was on my couch. Laughing.

TITLE: RESEVOIR
We should have known something was wrong when we first tasted the water. It was a little brown, but no more than usual in this apartment complex.
We kept drinking it until it turned black.
When they opened the water tank, they found the bloated, rotting corpse of my neighbor.
We usually always contact the winners first, but after all the trouble, we are opening up the process. I am again, very sorry for how late this is. I did not expect 4000 stories. Next year I will be ready.
Andres Driver says
The darkness that surrounds the night. Gives all the little trick or treaters a fright. Little goblins and ghouls scurrying around the night. That even makes
some adults hesitant about such a sight. Such a sight of monstrous little demons terrorizing the night. The night gets colder with every fright
Rosemary C says
The House
As I walked down the old, creaky stairs, I heard the door closing behind me. “There is no one else in this old, abandoned house” I thought. I walked through the door and suddenly hear a crash. I slowly turned around and I saw that something was standing behind me.
Layla L. says
HYSTERICS
In an instant the lights vanished and shadows devoured them. Demented laughter echoed in their ears, originating from seemingly every crevice of the room. Unexpectedly, a man tumbled forward, lifeless, an anonymous object plunged into his back. More psychotic laughter. It came from everywhere, almost cacophonous, but had no source.
Margot Beaver says
Back from the Dead
I knew it was only a matter of time before they would all come back to life again. Bang. The sound of a gunshot went off just outside my house, a loud shriek followed. They haven’t found me yet, I reassured myself. I wondered how long I could stay hidden …
Reid W. says
“The Forest of Tears”
As the three of us huddle around the campfire a peculiar thing happens. As the fog clears a tunnel appears across the lake. Hypnotized by the sight we see, someone, but whom? The fog slams back together with a boom. Then behind us a tall figure looming above masked by bone.
Peter S. says

Ellie M says
Barking, that’s what I heard when I woke up. Scratching, snapping, snarling, what is he looking at? What time is it? It’s three AM. My flashlight shines on what I saw and want to unsee. shadows, whispers, wind, who or what’s outside the tent? It’s just trees, time to sleep.
Ian P says

“Trigger”
Coming back to reality… Putting pressure onto my life-threatening wound, frantically looking around to see the one dark cold dead eye of Janine Sullivan’s half blown off face on the ground; looking up to see what my childhood friend had done, I froze to hear a click of a trigger.
Amina Sankpill says
The Woman in the Corridor
I kept hearing the tapping of a woman’s heels behind me, but I live alone. Every time I turned around, it abruptly stopped. All that was in sight was the darkness of the corridor. My heart was beating hurriedly. Then suddenly, something cold touched my shoulders. She yanked me back.
Andrew K says
Depression
I find my self alone! Alone and terrified! I hear noises, all around me! They’re getting louder and louder and they won’t stop! Scratching, clawing, trying to get in my head! I beg them to stop; I beg them to have mercy! I hear them scream! They will not stop!
Lauren M says
Through the Woods: It is dark in the forest, not a living soul near me, besides the one that’s trying to take my life. My legs carry me as fast as they can, but I hear them, getting closer behind me every second. They’ve found me, and they won’t stop until I’m dead.
Olivia, F says

Santa Is Real
I saw him scrambling down our neighbor’s chimney.
Next year, I’m going to ask him for one of those big playdolls that come in shiny black bags.
Too bad the Morris twins didn’t like theirs.
I saw men with trolleys take the two gifts away on Christmas morning.
Dafanie K. says
I wake up and I cannot move. I can breathe, I can feel, I can scream but my hands cannot reach. So I shut my eyes and let the seconds pass.I cannot fight their hands, their screams, their breath craving my body below me.
I cry into unearthly vacuum.
John boey says

Angela Cantiga says
LITTLE SISTER
I slept at my friend’s house. That night, I saw her little sister staring at her. I offered to bring her to her room since her sister’s asleep.
I told this to my friend the next day. Blood drained from her face as she replied, “I don’t have a sister.”

*Gone, but not Forgotten*
———————
Suddenly, she stopped and lifted her head. “What was that?”
“What?” I said.
“Shhh.” She propped herself up on her elbows, listening.
“Oh god, it’s my husband!”
“I thought he was dead?!”
Alarmed, I rolled over and reached for my pants at the side of the bed.
“He is!”
Jade W says
Chewing gum
I chew fervently, losing myself in the flavour. Closing my eyes I smile, savouring the sweet juices and the –
Ew. I stop chewing and grimace.
“The flavour’s gone… Mind if I have another?” I say, breaking off another finger. I ignore the screams and chew. “Mmm… just like chewing gum.”
Jade Bailey says
Dark
I come to feeling queasy. The wetness on my hands and face tells me that I succeeded. I curl the fingers of my left hand around one of the sodden orbs. Yep, that’s definitely them. Reaching out, my fingers find a jar and I place my still-warm eyes into it.
Jade Taylor says
After work
“Just whistle while you work”…ugh, that song is always stuck in my head. Twist left.
I’m hungry. Twist right.
There’s a sharp snapping sound and a muffled groan. I grin and collect my prize. “Eyeballs always feel so funny” I tell the jerking, blood-soaked body beneath me. Anyway, next one…
Parker Roehr says
The Lantern
It was a cold, foggy night when Samantha saw a light shine through the fog. Then she heard a scream. She ran through the fog straight to the light where all that was left was a hat and three drops of blood. She was never heard from again. The end.
Angel Stebbins says
“Punishment”
She had been tried and banished to her castle to live out her days walled inside for murdering young girls. They had not found her secret dungeon. She would figure out how to get out of here, but for now she would bathe in blood, eat flesh, and stay young.
-AS
Angel Stebbins says
“Attack”
I eyed him and he eyed me. I watched him lower his head in trepidation. His long neck stretched out and his yellow mouth opened with a battle cry. He charged, his webbed feet hitting the cement softly. His wings extended outward. I ran forward but the goose continued attacking.

Obika Onyinyechi Viola says
Nostalgia
I do really miss home; the tall trees, the chattering birds, the magnificent river, the clean air and also the sumptuous meal of foo-foo made from the cassava harvested from the backyard farm, served with melon soup, cooked with lots of mouth-watering human flesh.
Can’t wait to get back home.
Julie Germain says
HOME AT LAST
They took possession of the house on a rainy Friday night. Found a bottle of champagne and an envelope waiting inside. The house was groaning in the storm, doors creaking, windows rattling. He popped the cork while she read the card. “Congratulations,” it said, in dripping red letters. “You’re next!”
Jenna Busch says
Did I Say That Out Loud?
“I am not ugly,” he snarled as he passed her. Weird. She’d just been thinking that, but hadn’t said it out loud, had she? “So go pee then,” someone yelled at her. Then, “If you want to have sex with me, just ask.” Oh God, could they hear her thoughts?
Obika Onyinyechi Viola says
Really?
“After spending my money on this belt grinder. Now look it, the thing won’t even start,” complained Wilson. “I’ll give it one last try.”
He tried starting it again and this time it worked but not without the belt grabbing Wilson’s shirt and making his abdomen reveal his internal organs.
Ashlee Dawson says
He Got Her
His strong fingers held a firm grasp around the girl’s neck. She struggled to breathe as her weak body lifted off the ground. She clawed at him in an attempt to escape. Nothing helped. He lifted her higher, his grip tightened. Her body went limp and her eyes fluttered closed.
Jenna Busch says
The Present
That little girl is sweet, but odd, she thought as she looked at the bouquet. The flowers were mostly dead, but she could probably save a few. She tossed them on the counter and went to get a vase. She didn’t notice the hundreds of baby spiders scurrying out.
Ashlee Dawson says
Did He Get Her Too?
She stayed perfectly still, barely breathing, trying not to make a single sound. She spotted a shadow under the door from her hiding place beneath the bed. The red-stained feet moved towards the bed. Certainly, he heard her wheezing. She expected to feel his hand grab her at any moment.
Cooper Alexander says
I start to think to myself “is there a noise coming from my room” I start to walk upstairs and get a text saying don’t come up here I continue then he starts to walk toward me and he texts me run then I turn around and there he is.
Ashlee Dawson says
Its Eyes.
Remember those eyes? The ones you thought you saw behind the window pane? The one’s your parent assured you were just a figment of your imagination? They lied. They didn’t want you to know creatures like me exist. Because once you believe in me, my eyes will always follow you.
Ashlee Dawson says
Don’t Leave Them Alone
Concerts are the easiest targets. Parents always over trust security guards. Children get snacks on their own as the parents save seats. It’s not hard to pluck one unsuspecting kid from the crowd, especially if you have a pretty face, knives, and a van waiting. Just wait and I’ll show you.
Ashlee Dawson says
Why?
Why can I hear my heartbeat? Why is there a man standing over me? Why do I feel a weight being lifted from my chest? Why is he holding a human heart? What are those red things moving on the tray? Why can’t I breathe anymore? Why is he laughing?
william pruett says
I saw it
I was there, I saw the body. Clear as day, its face beaten a bloody pulp. Its arm tied down to the chair, the arms seemingly missing. I then noticed what’s left of his brownish sliver eyes on the floor. I then smile. A job well done on my part.
Grace Taylor says
Truth or Dare
“Truth or dare?” Kate asked.
“Truth” I said.
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
“No, why would you ask that?”
“I don’t know,” she said with a grin.
“Truth or dare,” I asked.
“Truth, “she said very quickly.
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
“I’m about to” she whispered.
Everything went black.
Laila Manley says
BLOOD HUSH
Heart pounding, blood dripping, bones aching. She stopped and panted. ´´I can’t do this anymore.´´ She screamed and ran. She felt someone watching her. ´´Oh no.´´ She thought. Racing she darted under the trees and bushes and suddenly felt a gunshot miss right pass her. They are here.
Tim Goldstone says
ON THE HILL FARM
Stomach scraping the wet yard, hungry, it slinks to the end of the clinking iron chain. The farmer knows he has caught the last one, and his wife, one arm left, claws all day and night at the cellar door, desperate to escape before it needs to be fed again.
Tim Goldstone says
SOMETHING FROM THE KITCHEN
Turning on a bare bulb hanging on twisted wire from the sagging kitchen ceiling, he watched ghosts of cockroaches scuttling across the floor. A web, dripping mucus, stretching from wall to wall, contained a child – shrunken, wrinkled, dried, its moving eyes a furious bright red as it spat at him.
william pruett says
The Trend
A friend told me about this trend where you mix milk with a strange drink called “Liquid bullet” and drink it. I thought it was stupid But still, I decided to record myself doing it. Imediently after my head pounded, I looked on the bottle and it said “Rat Poison”.
Benson Hollon says
¨Please dont¨”I cried when I woke up handcuffed in a dungeon with a sphycopath in my face making a weird laugh this is why I shouldn’t have taken a dare from my friends’ cause now no one knows where I am and who knows what this guy is going to do
Tim Goldstone says
THE CEREMONY
The body was rotting, stinking; and so bloated with flies it was moving. I’d never believed the rumours of end-of-life cannibalism, but what I’m pretty certain about is that ‘The Last Rites’ do not begin with: “For what we are about to receive.” Then they ordered me to eat it.
Catalina Eddy says
Kidnapped
Brooke’s sister McKenzie was kidnapped. Brooke fell in a sewer and found McKenzie but fire was lit around her. Brooke jumped over the fire and saved her then Brooke got hit by fire, and McKenzie had to leave, and she returned home safely, and nobody ever saw Brooke ever again.
Gerri Zimmerman says
Exorcism
Evil spirits can be removed by way of exorcism, or so the witch and the warlock had been told. They performed an exorcism on a werewolf on Halloween. It worked, at least they thought it did until the werewolf attacked them. There are now three werewolves in the vicinity.
Cooper Alexander says
The Demon
I start to hear a noise from the cornfield I send my husband to go check it out he doesn’t return so I go looking for him, when I enter I hear noises I follow it then there he is getting eaten by a demon then turned around and stared.
Catalina Eddy says
The Creature
I heard it coming, I didn’t know what it was going to do with me. I don’t even know what it is. I couldn’t make a sound, then the door creaked open. Something walked into the room. I couldn’t hold it in, I screamed in terror then everything went black.
Catalina Eddy says
The Killer Doll
We got a new house and I think it’s haunted, every night I hear my door open and say “The end is coming for you”. One night my room door opened and I hear singing coming from a doll with an eye dripping from her face. I went missing forever.
Tim Goldstone says
CONTENTMENT
At last. After all these years of trying, she had been right – it was the one thing she’d needed to make her happy. She was completely and utterly content now, stroking her newborn baby’s head on her lap in the firelight, the rest of its body scattered around the garden.
Tim Goldstone says
PRACTICAL JOKERS
She was born in the old house on the edge of the original cemetery. The only path leading to her home was through that ancient graveyard. But since they’d shoved her and she fell she’d been confined to her bed, and she was miserable without the laughter of the dead.
Hailey Snodderly says
The Little Girl In The Black Dress
As the creepy little girl with ragged hair was leading them into the old deserted house they start to hear a voice screaming “Help me!”
A blood curdling scream comes from the upstairs of the house. As soon as the scream stops the girl turns back and everything goes black.
Tim Goldstone says
VACATION
They were enjoying packing to go on holiday without the children for the first time. She smiled and said – “It’ll be nice to get away from the cat,” and her husband laughed harder than he had in years. “And the bodies,” he added grinning, and this time they both laughed.
Charlie K says
The Tea
The poison was in the tea. The poison was in the tea. I’m all along with a dead man on the floor, and the poison was in the tea. There is no one around in this house, but me and a dead man on the floor. What have I done.
Aidan V says
The House
Billy and Bob were walking down the dark road. Billy saw this interesting house and told Bob that he was going in. they agreed and went in. the house had a very weird feeling. They were walking though and they heard a noise. After that they were never seen again.
Bradathon Nu says
NO ESCAPE
The woman ran as fast as she could down the hallway. Behind her she could hear the sound of the saw revving up and screeching after her. She finally reached the door and thrust it open! And…then…
She shuddered as she walked forward, back into the same exact hallway…
Brendan M says
BloodStained Blade
One cold evening, Joringle’s engine cut like it was slit. He looked for the farm owner when he got closer lightning illuminated a figure, as he rapped upon door it was the last action he took, for there stood the glint of a reaper with dark liquid dripping from steel.
Alexander Flower says
A house, creaking and groaning like a wooden ship. The lonesome child, huddled in a corner, while rain harassed her through the broken window. Footsteps, like the devils’ misery and loneliness, snapping twigs outside the window. The rain stops. Silence. “Hello, Darlin.” One-shot. Loud and clear. Ringing. Ringing. Ringing.
ElliottD says
Bloody Murder
he turned to find her in the doorway screaming and then a hand gripped her mouth and pulled her in. He ran into the house he caught the creature run downstairs he followed to find her decapitated and had been gutted then he felt a bloody hand grasp his mouth

Spooky Story
There I was sitting in the hospital room “POW!” The lights go off. “AHH,” someone screams. “Crack,” goes the thunder. I try to go find someone in this hospital. It was empty. All exit doors were locked. “AHH,” I scream, but then I find out it was all a dream.
Sam. A says
As I walked into my room as I heard a screech, the door slammed behind me, the lights flickered off and everything went silent. I thought to myself what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned around.
Dylen M says
A Night in the Hospital.
I woke up to a fright. I woke up in the night. The night I woke up I could not see. The night I woke up there wasn’t just me. When I woke up I felt a presence. I called for the doctor right away. Instead of the doctor, decay.
Gary Super says
My Last Night
I’m lying in bed, in my humid room. I feel something lurking near me. I can’t sleep. I’m afraid. What beast lies behind the door, what monster crawls within the walls? It’s going to get me. I can’t escape. Demons block every entrance to tomorrow. My life will end tonight.

zach fritz says
There I was, sleeping, but then I heard an unexpected nock at the door. I slowly crept forward wondering who it could be. As I stepped closer and reached for the door I heard more nocks one after the other they began to speed up then I open the door.
Aidan Sam says
“Thalassophobia”
Our submarine approached the light hanging in the darkness. The closer we got the brighter it became. Something was terribly wrong. Through the murky water, I could make out hundreds of pointed teeth. The lantern flashed for a split second revealing an angler fish the size of a sperm whale.

” Scary Island ”
“This island was replenished with skulls after the massacre of men many years ago”, reported Maya. Maya petrified when she noticed a living skeleton. She cried, “Help me”. The skeleton replied, “ Don’t worry, I will eat your flesh”. Maya agonized with pain when blood gushed out from her body.
Kayen Rogers says
I Tried to Run Away
I run I run. I hide I hide. I try to get away. It runs It runs. It hides It hides and tries to snatch its prey. I try to sway away. It follows me. I try to flee. It snatches me, latched to me. I tried to run away.
Sal Sabil Chowdhury says

Jerry’s clothes were found in the woods; shredded, covered in blood, among footprints of wolves.
But Mother knew, her lil’ boy wasn’t dead. He’s just lost somewhere in the woods; alone, scared..
So she started searching, until she finally found him. Howling, Jerry greeted his mother with his sharp fangs.
Sarah H says
Pitch Black
The darkness, it surrounded me, Then I saw it, it had a bony starved body, and the face, the face was something that would haunt me, Pitch black eyes and a mouth full of bloody sharp teeth. Then in a low growl, it said “your next, time to say goodbye”
Sal Sabil Chowdhury says
“BLOODY MARY”
On that stormy Halloween night, I lit a candle and stood before the broken mirror.
“Bloody Mary…..Bloody Mary…Bloody..Mary”-thirteen times, I counted; and opened my eyes.
There she was, on the other side of the mirror. Tall, pale and terrified.
“Hello, Tilda! Here I am!”,
said I.

“Growing up, Granny unfolded those Satanic tales.
I now know, how that passage from the commode
ushers to his realm, the HELL.
I know, how he can change my vile appearance if I
trade my………..”

her hand tears apart her neck.

I just woke up from a nap and turned the tv on and there it was a possessed girl and her army I look outside and they were all standing outside my house the house turning black I try to make a run for it but it was too late.
Nick Carr says
A Sound of Violence
The first time the sound crawled into Mary’s head she was six and she’d pushed Sadie out the window. Then in college… that teacher, his blood everywhere. Now, she could hear the chattering growing again; grinding, incessant. Across the table John made airplane noises, feeding cereal to little Abigail.
Sal Sabil Chowdhury says
***UNDER THE TABLE***
During dinner, I rubbed my feet against Ariana’s. But she seemed expressionless. I rubbed again, no reaction.
“Whose feet am I rubbing? Gosh! If anyone figures out that I’m banging my sister………” Looking under the table I found him; green, skinny, naked.
“Time to go, Bastard”, his phantasmal voice uttered.
Lola says
The Legend of the Haunted House By Lola Kernell
One time, Bo and I went on a walk outside of Indian Hills and found a haunted house not far away from where we were walking on Halloween night and so we decided to go check it out. So, we went to the house and heard/smelled death and random………………….
Brian Fairbanks says
If only he could reach his glasses. With his glasses, he could see what the trouble was, perhaps ascertain who had confronted him. But as his fingers crawled through the spiky grass toward the place where the spectacles fell, his blurred focus remained on the man leaning over him. The only thing Bernard could determine was that the man was grinning.
Ben Tullis says
“The Tent”
I woke to the sound of scratching outside my tent, soft at first but now intense and coming from all sides.
I’ve heard it breathing; it’s not human and it’s not an animal.
A realization dawned on me inside the darkness.
The tent won’t protect me from what’s outside.
Ben Tullis says
“The ‘Imaginary’ Friend”
Emily heard her 4-year-old daughter talking and walked into the living room.
Lizzie stood by the chest of drawers, nodding now, not speaking.
Emily smiled. “Who you talking to, Lizzie?”
Lizzie looked at her and frowned. “My friend Jane. She doesn’t like you, mommy.”
A drawer flew across the room.
Ayden Beveridge-Calvin says
The creaking and groaning of rust on iron rang throughout the factory. Beeps in whistles screeched in pain. “ Klil eth meakr” They wailed. As she walked down the corridor she heard the scratching of sharp steel drawing near. Her breathing ended when she saw it. And then she saw no more
Grace Mackay says
No Way Out
I knew haunted houses were a bad idea. But they said it’s not real. I shouldn’t have gone. It’s not like a normal haunted house. I’ve been wondering for 2 hours by myself. Clowns and zombies everywhere I turn. But something’s off. They’re not pretending anymore. There’s no way out.

“I Found You…”
I had heard a strange noise, the sound of creaking. That’s peculiar, my house hardly ever creaked. The sound only got louder, like someone was walking straight towards my room. I was frozen as I saw my door slowly open by a tall, dark figure. “I found you..” It whispered.

Halloween Night
It was a dark Halloween night. John was trick or treating by himself. It was very quiet. No one else was around. John heard a noise behind him. He turned, and there was a tall, masked guy staring at him. There was something in his hand, pointed at John. BANG!!!

Friday Night I take my son to a haunted house on Friday night. He’s 14. It’s a dark, spooky feeling. The floors creak and the windows are shattered. We walk. We walk. Everything feels real. A man approaches. We run. We run. My son disappeared, who took him. It is too late.

THE BEAST ON EAST LOCKET STREET
When the kids were outside playing in the street, they understood nothing. Maybe that was why it was so easy to take them. It looked around. It saw. These ones were older. But maybe that put them in even more danger. It’s in his imagination, he thinks. He is wrong.

Not Alone
On holidays at the hospital, I have to close up alone. I was cleaning on the bottom floor and the final room to clean up was the morgue. I noticed one of the freezer doors was open. I thought nothing of it until I heard a voice whisper my name.

Nightmare
“NO! DON’T!” I screamed.
I woke up sweaty in bed tossing and turning. I had a nightmare of my mom murdering my dad. It seemed so real. My mom came running into my room panting, holding a gun. She held it up to my head, her hand on the trigger.

The Intruder
Mr. Jacobs sat in bed waiting for his wife downstairs. He heard a loud bang and a scream he wasn’t sure what it was, so he stayed in bed. Then he heard a thump, thump, thump coming from the stairs, he hid under the covers waiting, then it stopped. BANG!!!
