My entry for the Lunar Awards S10/R5 is a short tale of gripping horror that I hold complete rights to. I know this is something that still gives me a chill when I re-read it and I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. https://nicholassamuelstember.substack.com/p/in-the-dark

Hi Kanwar, thank you for your submission. The threshold for anthology consideration is 1,000 words. For the Lunar Awards, I've defined anything less than 1,000 words as flash fiction. You may still enter the story, but it won't qualify for the Winner or Runner-up categories. Do you still want to submit it? You may also choose another story instead. I'll await your response before confirming.

My entry is a southern gothic horror story called Erasing George.

George comes home from school one day, his mother insists he's not her real son.

Though I like reading it, I'm not much good at writing horror, but here is my attempt. This is a story that begins in normal, rural life and veers off into a quiet, green apocalypse:

Ok, I have selected a terrifying real life autobiographical sketch. I'm going to just put it out there and see what happens. The scariest things are the real life things, I think, because you can't suspend belief. This is Child Game Hunts.
