Imagine a world where everyone wakes up with the overwhelming urge to kill themselves. An urge they successfully fulfill. Millions of people across the globe indulge in mass suicide. Except... A disproportionate number of horror writers remain. We're left with a world left to the horror writers (and some other random people who survived), and what happens? The monsters begin to manifest, of course. Cleared of the clutter of mundane human motives, the world's creative energies are now generated mainly by the puppeteers of the macabre. And all that dark and twisty horror-writer mojo seems to combine... to build up... to burst the seams of reality to unleash the nightmares of the nightmare-makers to prey upon the last few souls of the world. And what do horror writers do when they're the last ones standing, seeing their worst fears come to life? They seek each other out, throw a big beerfest, grab the guns, and go monster-bashing, of course... An online-only, invitation-only fiction collaboration hosted by theDF_underground and powered by Squidoo. Participating authors work on a rotating basis to contribute one 1,000-word scene at a time to further the story, building upon prior themes, characters, and events to create wild and whacky adventures in which the horror writers rule the day. We've had three cracking scenes already - and my first contribution (scene 4) is now available to view online. Have a looksee: www.squidoo.com/underground_rising_scene_1
