DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Challenge 278: DARK FOREST |
Some forests are peaceful, beautiful places, perfect for a romantic walk or a quiet camping trip – but not this one. Legends swirl about ghosts or monsters, ancient stories of something sinister waiting under the trees. Unknown creatures howl at night, and the shadows seem darker even at the forest’s edge. Sometimes people who go into the forest don’t come back at all – or they come back changed. Write a story about a dark forest. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
Challenge ends Monday, October 20 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 278 – dark forest • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |
