Funny in that sharp and biting way--it's often so dry and cruel (but never malicious) that it takes you a moment to realize it was a joke.

25 word, scary as all hell, haunted house story.
Like the prompt says. Haunted house story in only 25 words. Short, simple, and spooky. I’ll allow five extra words for anyone that wishes to include hashtags but remember to keep the story at a max of 25 words.

when it stands silent

the pitter-patter

of tiny feet

or those god-awful screams

of her last moments

ghostly laughter

ringing in an empty house

sinister things hide in darkness

Dark

pulls me under

feels like I’m dying

beating

the harsh surface of cold

unforgiving

unyielding stone

breath--more like freedom

breaking the surface

gulping

for just a moment

back under

the dark consumes me

again

blue

an ethereal thing

black

like the creatures of nightmares

light

bright above me

it doesnt last

for longer than a moment

back under the blackness

again

they crash around me

it shouldn’t hurt like this

they told me

it should be quick

they told me

it’s like falling asleep

I made a mistake

letting the freefall

of those precious seconds

consume me

I thought

an instant

that’s all it takes

but the blackness

at the base of the cliff

it has decided

to take its time

not quickly at all

In fifteen words, what is love?

it’s hard to describe how love is

there is a fire

beneath your skin

there is a beating

a thrumming

that matches

In 50 words or less; how important is intelligence?
poetry or prose; anything goes.

There are better things than intelligence

When I look at him,

I don’t think of how clever he is,

or that time that he impressed my daddy,

with books and big words and a beer

I just think of how I feel,

when his eyes meet mine.

And I melt a little

because I’m warm inside
