Aw man, I'm so jealous of this assignment.  If I weren't down for the count with a miserable cold, I might play along anyway just for fun.  Hope the writing is going well for all the finalists!  Good luck!

 
I'm with ya' BTJ-- Starting turning my insides out early Friday morning or I would have played along too-  I was going to give my self another story to write for my birthday and thought... well, might as well start here!  Don't feel too good still, so no go. 
 
Hope the rest of you are having a ball!!  Never tried horror before, but i think it would be fun! Not sure how good at it I'd be... not so big on blood and guts.

That sounds like that Twilight Zone horror episode about the bug that burrows into your brain through your ear and out the other side. This guy survives and is overjoyed, until he finds out the bug likes a return trip!!!

First draft finished, taking a break before revising. HP Lovecraft it is not! :) 

Still, I got my own adrenaline pumping just a bit writing my ending, so I'm going to consider that an accomplishment!

I thought I was going to have too few words, but now I'm at about 2,200 and I seem to have too many... This is definitely not my best work. I don't even have that much time to edit it...

Sigh... there's not much drama until the prodigy homunculus starts eating my protagonist...which doesn't happen until 1800 words in. So screwed. Terrible story. I hate my life.

Finished my final proofread about an hour about and submitted just now.  Incredibly tired -- but I'm pleased with the end product.

I'll definitely be cruising the forum to read/review the other stories, probably posting my own as well.  I had a lot of fun doing this ... great Christmas gift from my girlfriend Clap

That was just terrible. No competition from me. Time to drink.
