Tales O' Terror 2010

[davywavy]

A few years ago I spent most of the week around Halloween writing creepy tales of terror, and I'm thinking it'd be nice to do so again.

So, to inspire me, I'm going to try and write some short tales o' terror. I want you lot to give me some possible subjects, and then in a couple of weeks I'll post the results here. Deal?

Long time at the coal face - a tale of the future where the government has put the retirement age to 15 years after you die.

Hybrid - environmentalists do a deal with dark powers to create a car that can run on anything. But then they start to hunger.

Groomed - vampires start using the internet to groom potential victims.

How about one of...

Not really a suggestion for a story ... but I was just checking out the Google images of Bob Crow, following your suggestion that he should be this year's Guy Fawkes. Blimey he's sinister isn't he? Looks like a cross between Charles Grey as Blofeld, and a potato.

Something Unspeakable in Human Resources.

Burgers. They are so horrible that a reader is already halfway to believing a story about them being undead and carnivorous... And the story has a natural sequel: Rise of the Kebabs.

Or go down the rabbit-hole of Coupland's losers in a dead-end job that gradually lobotomises your co-workers.
