Well, not much to say here, so here we go...


01/10/11 – In The Beginning

It was a monster indecipherable by ordinary human minds.

Falling from the stars at a speed greater then any object ever recorded on the Earth and beyond, it broke through the atmosphere and began to fly low over the planet.

As it passed over cities, it caused madness and horror at its unfathomable awfulness. Men and women gouged out their eyes, stumbling into the streets and mumbling incoherent cries of terror at the sheer…mess they had laid sight upon.

It soared over the ocean, and onto the east coast of the continent of Australia, over the port of Sydney, and there it unleashed its full horror.

The waters of Darling Harbour were turned to boiling tar, which washed over the city's streets. The Sydney Harbour Bridge melted, contorting as it sank into the ocean. The Centrepoint Tower snapped in two, the top half turning into a deadly spinning top, wrecking the middle of the city.

There was no notable effect to the train service.

The disgusting travesty rocked over the Southern Highlands, until it finally crashed into the front yard, where its master awaited.


I picked up the printed copy of Halloween Spectacular, recently mailed to my front doorstep (my printer was broken) and grinned.

"Awesome!" I exclaimed, "It finally arrived!"

Danny walked out of the house, squinting at the horizon.

"What's with all the smoke in the west?" he asked.

"Meh, who knows?" I shrugged, "So, it's October again."

"Sure is," nodded Danny.

There was a brief pause.

"I'd better get writing, I guess," I nodded.

I sniffed the copy in my hands.

"Why does this smell like Cthulhu?"


Me and Danny sat in the review room, decorated for Halloween (I'd but a pumpkin on the table – it was already starting to smell bad.)

"It's that time of year again!" I grinned, "For the whole month of October, I'll be putting up one oneshot a day until the day of Halloween. Who knows – maybe this time I won't destroy the Earth!"

"Once again, we're also challenging you to write a oneshot every week until Halloween," added Danny, "Because that worked so well last time…"

"The prize – name it," I grinned, "I can write a oneshot, add an OC to one of my stories, whatever you want. This week's word is 'Roman.'"

"…Roman," deadpanned Danny.

"Yeah, I just flipped through a dictionary," I shrugged.

I turned to my keyboard.

"Now, let's get to work…"


Outside the window, Plankton groaned.

"I don't even get a cameo in the intro this time?" he lamented, "Oh, come on!"
