Abi Graham (@AbiGraham3), Randy Graf (@RandyGrafCanada), mila (@mila255h), and Mrremoraman (@mrremoraman) were all nominated for an award. They were nominated by Fizzy AllsortsOfAllsorts (@Fizzytwizler), Mistress Of Spooky And Spice (@Laura_Writes_), and That Burnt Writer (@ThatBurntWriter).

The community came together, voted for their favourites on 𝕏 and Mrremoraman came out on top! Here’s the winning piece:

I’ve never been scared of ghosts. I’ll sleep in any haunted house.
But the thing in the basement of that home was no human spirit.
They crashed on our planet millenia ago. And they’ve been waiting for the right time ever since.#horrorprompt
