In 500 words, write the final entry of a captain's log in a horror story. (You can decide the setting.) How much of the story can you tell in this short space? #writingprompt

The marathon runs from November 1st to December 31st. It's a notoriously difficult time to stay consistent with writing, so you have two pledge options: 15,000 words per month (30k total) or 15 days per month (30 days total). End the year with a bang and with community support!

I don’t really ever have useful creative advice. It’s always gonna be like, “Make stuff up, see what happens, pick the parts you like, then put them next to each other in different configurations until they make your brain tingly.”
