I'm sure we all have that one piece: the one that had that one beautiful line or paragraph or page, but ultimately didn't get finished for some reason. This is a call to go back to that piece, finish it (even if it means reworking or taking out that one beautiful part), and post it, attaching the part you killed separately at the end. You will always have that beautiful part, you will always be able to go back to it, but sometimes we get so caught up in the pursuit of perfection that we forget to finish telling the stories that are important to us. So, finish your stories. Kill your darlings.

In poetry or prose, try your best to evoke deep feelings of dread, unease, or horror. Try to avoid gore! If your short involves anything graphic that could potentially harm the experience of another reader, do try to tag it in the beginning! And have fun!
