Submissions are open.
Not all endings are final. Some things remain as echoes of what once was. To be haunted is to live with what should be gone, but isn't.
For our second contest, we want hauntings. Give us the crew member who never left the ship, the voice on a dead phone line, the version of someone that lingers long after they've walked out the door.
Make it eerie, or tender, or terrifying. Whatever you make it, make it linger.
