Nominee no. 1:

He drinks
Taking deep delicious mouthfuls
Heartbeat slows
He still drinks
It was general #knowledge to stop
To not kill
He kills
He danced with her lifeless body
Like an #immature child
Before throwing it
Too many corpses
Time to move on#horrorprompt no.978#vsshorror #vss365
— Amanda 🖤☠️🥀 (@AmandaJK_) January 22, 2023

Nominee no. 2:

Into the darkened hollow
Eager to taste the flesh of the beast
They sang the old songs
Cold tunes to stir the forest wraiths
In the pre-dawn hours
Spirits swirled around them
Tasting their immature faith
Only to rush back to shadowed glades
And hide from coming day#horrorprompt
— james mullen (@narwhals9) January 22, 2023

Nominee no. 3:

That's where it all happened,
Where that tall man is standing.
Can you see him?
Just under the willow tree?
He wrapped ropes around her neck,
Then his own,
But no one knows why.
He told me, but I can't tell.
But sometimes,
We play together.
Hide and seek.
Just like we used to.
— Jessica Laymon (@JessicaELaymon) January 27, 2023

Nominee no. 4:

Her bewitching eyes
Hold me captive for a while,
As she eats me whole.#haikuhorrorprompt

February 2022 #HorrorPromptAwards🏆 winners!

My face plastered in the #viscera of the man – what used to be a man – beneath me, I look up at a world that makes no sense, thoughts that make no sense. I was one once, a man, but no longer. Simply an animal, ravenous and insensate. I feed, and…I am lost. #horrorprompt…

January 2022 #HorrorPromptAwards🏆 winners!

Helplessly he clings to the radiance in her eyes, all he sees in this dark room that swallows all sensation. He only knows his arms & legs still exist when agony reassures him. His mind swears her lovely gaze is no part of the hands that cut, but his flesh quails. #horrorpromptOriginally tweeted by Cassondra…
