APRIL 2024 SUBMISSION

THEME: YOU CAN’T PICK YOUR FAMILY

BAD, EVIL, OR DEMONIC FAMILY MEMBERS/IN-LAWS/ANCESTORS.

Descend into the twisted lineage of familial malevolence with our latest theme. Unearth tales of kinship stained by darkness, where blood ties bind to the macabre and the sinister lurks within the family tree. From ancestral curses to in-law horrors, let your drabbles weave tales of dread and despair.
