Evil ghosts appear in stories more often than friendly ghosts. But many believe that friendly ghosts do exist as protective spirits who guide and help.
Fremont Cultural Arts Council (FCAC) is conducting a Flash Fiction Writing Contest with the theme, The Friendly Ghost. Al Minard, FCAC board member, said, “At this time of the year, we think of ghosts, goblins and other scary things. I like to think of positive things, so I am convinced that if there are scary things then there are also friendly things that we too often ignore.”
Those interested in reading can visit Half Price Books, Fremont Hub on Saturday, Sept. 27. Stories of 300 words or less including the title on a single printed paper will be posted on the columns inside the store. Everyone visiting on that day will be able to read and vote for their five favorite stories.
Voting closes at 5pm. Winners will be announced around 5:30pm and posted on the FCAC website the following week. Contestants don’t have to be present to win. Infinity Care LLC will help conduct the event and provide refreshments.
The contest is co-sponsored by FCAC along with Half Price Books, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Jack’s Brewing Company, Fremont Area Writers and Infinity Care LLC.
