Here are excerpts from our contest winners for Septembers contest, Culture Coutore:

Killer Culture - Emma Hooks

"'Welcome to Killer’s Anonymous, everyone. It’s great to see both new and familiar faces,' a tall man said. He was an older man with short, stringy, and graying hair and wrinkles forming across his face. His clothing, which looked ratty yet well-loved, seemed stained with years' worth of oil and grime. The air around him was tainted with the smell of cars and rubber, and his boots looked to be caked in layers of dried mud. Everything about him screamed 'nature-dude'. It was hard to believe that such a nice-looking middle-aged, almost-elderly man would have ever killed someone." (Hooks 1.)

Survival 101 - Kam Lafferty

"This country is a horror movie. They taught us how to hide, not how to fight, so I sharpen my voice like a kitchen knife. We don’t live in haunted houses, but houses haunted by the fear of waking up each morning. Because you can’t tell me this movie will end when the end credits haven't rolled. We’re not paranoid, we’re losing control." (Lafferty 1.)

Dry Alter - Aufest Clarke

"I am a fish dying on an altar. Worship my gills as they draw for breath and hold no yield. Here I lie, breathing and wheezing and gasping for air, and here you are still calling me beautiful. How cruel of you to show me such affections when you have the hands to help.
  But you won't." (Clarke 1.)

Here are excerpts from our contest winners for October's contest, Horror:

Static - Anonymous

"The world is made of angles. The sharp corner of the desk, the precise line where the wall meets the ceiling, the perfect triangle of a butterfly’s wing. I count them when the noise in my head gets too loud. My therapist calls it a coping mechanism. I call it the only thing that keeps the static out. "

Paddle Ball Heart - Anonymous

"My heart doesn't beat, It lurks in my chest. It strikes when I least expect it; a subtle though detrimental feeling. "

Portal! - Anonymous
