No Going Back Now
You have killed someone. The reasons and circumstances of how you committed this "sin" are mostly up to you. But this was not self defense, and we both know that don't we? For now, you need only concern yourself with how you're going to cover up your dark deed.
So, what will you do?

Monthly Horror & Thriller Challenge for March.
You've been abducted. When they uncover your face in their compound, you're handed a knife, and instructed to hunt and kill the group of seven before daybreak. It's exactly 11 p.m. For each person you don't kill per hour, you will lose a finger, not a thumb, and if all seven are alive at dawn, then you will also lose your head. You've never been in a fight, let alone killed anyone. They want to be murdered by you, but they want you to earn your life at the same time. So much so, one of your fingers is cut off before they run. You hunt, or you die. How strong is self-preservation? Take us along. Winner is decided by likes, and will receive a crisp $10.00 -Go get them, or don't.

Creepy Conversation Starters
I had a Halloween party this past year and filled a pumpkin pail with folded pieces of paper and each one had a creepy question or conversation starter. For example...If you were a serial killer, what "trophies" would you take from your victimes? If you were a cannibal, what would be your favorite body part to eat? What's your favorite murder show on TV? What kind of ghost would you be? What competition would you choose if you had to challenge the Devil and win back your soul? Post your own creepy question for the challenge and answer other Prosers questions in their comments. I'll award the best question AND the best answer to a question.

A Car Accident [Trigger Warning: Violence]
Describe a very brutal car accident. Leave no details out about the car and how it begins, to how it comes to its new state of being. If there's gore or anything about the driver you want to include, please include a trigger warning [TW] at the top of the post in the title, but other than that. It's a free for all. Let's see how good you can get at describing a car accident. Any type. Small fender bender or a large, horrific accident... Anything and it's good to also give a recount of the driver's experience and thoughts, whether they walk out or not.
