Here's a simple challenge:
Choose one (or more) of the photos below and write a Halloween story that in some way includes the picture you picked; make it the basis of a scene or the focus of the story, whichever you prefer. A child(ren) must be a character in your story and your story must contain an X-Files character. The child does not have to be related to the X-Files character, but they can be.

The minimum word count is 500 words, but there is no maximum...whatever length you feel you can/want to handle between now and the deadline, basically.

Any genre, from sweet family fic to horror or crossover, is acceptable. Any timeline too, from pre-XF to future fic.

Since your archivist posted this later than desired, you have until December 15th, 2013 to submit your fic. Don't forget to let us know what # was your inspiration!
