This is the furthest I've ever made it into short story! I was a little surprised to be honest, as I've been having a lot of trouble focusing on writing lately. But also delighted! Looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with Smile

I like this non-standard synopsis.  I think it’s the only one I’ve seen written in the first person.

Group 6: Ghost story / nightlife / a decorator

Dollface


When Tara reluctantly agrees to take on a renovation project, she’s determined that it will be her last. Little does she know how true that will prove to be.


I hate writing the synopsis, I always forget it and rush it at the last second. 😂 

Some of these sound so great!
