this monster was trying to be a literary star in his hometown of ghost woods.
but then he was transported to this world through the mysterious arcade machine.
of course he's going through a lot of emotional turmoil:
he's far from home ;; he's been reverted back to a younger, child-like version of himself
but does he hate it? or is there a part of him that relishes having something new to write about?
>> RuLeS >>
this is a writing contest, with the following rules:
;; each person is allowed one entry
;; an entry must be a gothic poem of some kind ; it doesn't need to rhyme, free verse is fine ; be creative!
;; you may interpret "gothic poem" however you wish, as long as your entry is made up of words and words alone
;; i.e. your poem can just as easily be a parody, or a lengthy, lovelorn epic, but no movies or pictures
;; all work must be your own ; absolutely no getting someone else to write for you
;; post entries in this thread
;; poems will be judged by the staff
;; only those without a monster may pick up their quills for this contest
;; after winning, winner must send 30k to the mule
