What they want!

Summer is graciously making way to Autumn. Cooling temperatures, dying leaves, ragged, skittering clouds. 

This quarter’s challenge has an appropriately creepy feel – We want your best stories about…

(drumroll please)

Abandoned places. Any abandoned place is game, but please, no abandoned houses. (There are so many of those, they no longer qualify as abandoned!)

Here at the Moonlit Path, Halloween is our most favorite time of year. What self-respecting horror-lover doesn’t squee when summer rolls to a stop and transforms into a pumpkin?
