HALLOWEEN SHORT STORY COMP WINNER

I know shoot me for taking so long! I'm sorry, but you know I've been massively busy and had no judges! Thanks so much to Emilymileyrocks and Lillyandmile for coming to the rescue and helping judge this one!

This was so hard. I think because some were so long and some seemed like they were not original (written by you).

It was really fun and hope all the writers (if they haven't already) take a moment and read through them. I think John and I are the funniest pair. In some of the stories we were twins, married and even each others murders. I thought that was hilarious. I can't count the number a times my friends left me for dead (NOT FUNNY...ok maybe it is ;D)!

Anyway in the end there could be only 1 and I chose to go with one that was absolutely completely original. Not so much scary, but it was funny because some of that was kinda what I was thinking when reading these. It just made me laugh...

So congrats to clodaghmac. Sorry for taking so long!


Shocker!

One dark, spooking Halloween night, Jenna (aka emorox4eva) was on her computer, surfing through all the stories posted to her from Stardoll members. They were for the comp her blog, Stardoll’s Most Wanted, was having, where they must write a scary Halloween story. As she shifted through each one, she started to get more and more desperate. Each one was worse than the other. They were all either about monsters, or vampires, or witches or ghosts. There was nothing even remotely original. Some stories were just copy and pasted from the internet, some even has links still at the bottom!
She thought she’d never find a winner, until she finally came across one. She became hooked on the story instantly. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from it! She just kept reading, she couldn’t stop! She definitely has a winner, no second thought! She quickly signed into Stardoll. She clicked Buy to get the prize for her winner, but the page was very slow to come up. That didn’t make much sense, since her Internet was working perfectly just a few minutes ago. She refreshed to page, but it was still very slow.
Finally, after almost half an hour, the page flashed on. What she saw then made her scream. It wasn’t the usually page, it was different. It was all black, and the only thing that was on the screen was bold, white letters, flashing. They read,
“JENNA, YOU CAN NO LONGER BUY STARDOLLARS! YOU HAVE BOGHT FAR TOO MANY ALREADY! YOU ARE BEING BANNED FROM BUYING STARDOLLARS FROM NOW ONE! –CALLIE.STARDOLL”
Jenna couldn’t believe her eyes. This wasn’t happening! Stardoll wouldn’t do that. It didn’t make sense! She quickly mailed on of her good Stardoll friends, Mel (aka bluegreen86), to tell her what was happening, but when she tried to send the message, the screen went black once again and the bold, white letters flashed
“JENNA! YOU HAVE SENT FAR TOO MANY MAILS! YOU ARE BANNED FROM SENDING MAILS FROM NOW ON! –CALLIE.STARDOLL”
Jenna was confused. What was going on? This was unbelievable!
All of a sudden, her whole screen went black and the white letters flashed!
“GET OFF THE COMPUTER!” Boomed a voice, seemingly COMING from her computer! “GET OFF NOW!”
A gust of wind rushed into the house, and the lights started to flicker, the windows opened and closed violently and the computer flashed a million different colours and images! Jenna began to scream, but the whole house started to shake and thunder roared and lighting struck all around her. She was crying now, tear soaking her face. “I JUST WANTED TO BUY STARDOLLARS!” She yelled at the top of her lungs

Just like that, everything stopped. Jenna woke to find herself in her bed. She sat bolt upright quickly, making her feel dizzy for a moment. When she was right, she looked around. It was so dark she could barely make out the clock on the wall. 12:00 am, 1st November it read. She looked at it stunned. Was that all a dream? All a stupid, dopey dream that didn’t even make sense? She ran to the computer and turned it on. Her dressing room on Stardoll flashed up, noting changed. She looked at it, amazed. She laughed. Just a dream, she told herself. Just a stupid…
All of a sudden, the screen went black again, and bold, white letters flashed in front of her.
“HAPPY HALLOWEEN” It read, and somewhere in the distance she heard a scream
