Monthly Challenge
The challenge this month is to write a mystery or thriller type story with the following first line:
"The lights appeared out of the darkness..."
It can be a short story or novel of any genre/category, though Mystery or Thriller is recommended.
Your entry can have one chapter, or many chapters. If it is a multi-chaptered story, the first chapter must be online by the deadline. Stories must be TOS compliant, and any story not meeting the rules of the challenge will be deleted.
Deadline: 17th July
Good luck!
I realise some of the rules for challenges aren't very clear. There is one particular one that seems to have been missed with one of the entries for the last challenge.
Entries for the monthly challenge must be written specifically for the challenge, and not stories written before hand that fit with the challenge.
