The golden rule

the aim is that you use 100 words but I will accept 95 – 105.

Inspiration might be got from a picture or a word.

I will accept any form of creative writing whether it be a poem to a short story the only thing that should stop you is your imagination.

In my ghost box

In my ghost box I shall put the chill of an empty room

The cries of the dying men echoing through the blooded battlefield

And the tormenting rattles in the widow’s mind

In my ghost box I shall put the screaming cries of nightmares

The deathly hallows of the mist veiled moors

And the cackling witch riding on her broomstick

In my ghost box I shall put the darkness of the battlefield cave

The tears of the drowning girl’s mother in the icy lake

And the thrashing of the chained children in the damp cellar

In my ghost I shall put the blood spraying from the shining sickle’s blade

The rotting corpse under the vulture’s talon

And the suffocating darkness of the closed coffin
