Thanks, Trifecta, for the 3rd place nod in your regular contest this past week. I had so much fun writing Waterproof that I just might actually expand on it a bit. (See! That’s the good thing you do for people like me, Trifecta.)
But now it’s time for the Trifextra Weekend Challenge. Here are this weekend’s rules: Entrants must write a horror story in 33 words exactly, without the words blood, scream, died, death, knife, gun or kill. Currently, I’m playing with a few ideas.
Oh, look! Here comes one now …

Trifextra Entry – Clueless

“Wait! Miss Scarlett … with a rope … in the conservator—“
She lunged and tightened the rope around his neck until he slumped to the floor.
“SO close,” she said, walking out of the library.

Thanks, SF.
It’s always Miss Scarlett.
They really shouldn’t keep inviting her to the party.
This is so sick and funny! Love your warped sense of humor, ODNT! Peace and stuff like that, Amy

Thanks. I wish I could have used 36 words. I really wanted to include “you miserable bastard” in her response. Alas, those three words fell to the cutting room floor.
Holy crap – that’s good! I like it. I love it. I want to marry it, and smear it all over my…
Good story!
Okay. THAT sounds a little horror storyish …
But thanks!
this is coolest game show of all time.
seriously, I love the macabre humor. You’;re twisted, which is awesome.
Thanks, Lance. Always one of my favorite games as a child.
ODNT’s dark side.Love it. Excellent take on the prompt.
Thank, dear. Your entry made me sad. Although it is in fact MOST horrifying.
This is hilarious – I love reading all the banter in these comments. Loved this game.
Thanks. And welcome to the party. Did you bring your world-famous cheese dip?
Love this because 1) I always thought that board game was kinda perverse and 2) it made me laugh, and I didn’t expect to. Thanks!
What board game? This entry was based on a true story.
(If a girl makes a joke in her comments … and no smiley face emoticon is there to punctuate it … does it make a sound?)
That poor bastard. Obviously wasn’t marking his clues accurately on the card.
I hate it when a comment is better than the blog post itself. Damn you, Guap.
For a horrible moment I thought I had the wrong prompt and that it should be what I was – clueless. So, it was a double-whammy on horror!
You thought the prompt was ‘clueless?’ That’s funny. Guess it works either way …
I always thought that Miss Scarlett did it! Well done 🙂
Her name is Scarlett. Her destiny was to murder or strip. (My apologies to all of the dental hygienist, librarian and CPA Scarletts out there.)
Too funny!
Thanks, K.
I love this story. Great one, ODNT! 🙂
Thanks, Ms. Obscura. It was fun to create.
Oh I love this! I used to be infatuated with playing this game. What a great way to use the prompt!
Cool!
So clever A++++
Lol. Nasty miss Scarlett :)can never trust her
Thanks so much for linking up with Trifecta this week. Hope to see you back on Monday (10 am Eastern) for the new prompt and some exciting news about the changes Trifecta is making to spread the word about our writing community.
