Welcome to the flash fiction #steemitwritingprompt challenge!

For those of you familiar with Reddit's WritingPrompt subreddit, you're going to feel right at home. Otherwise, the rules are simple:

1) I will submit a writing prompt in the form of a simple story idea or premise.

2) You all will write stories based on the prompt and submit them as comments on this post.

3) We (the Steemit community) will upvote the best stories and on Steemit that means making money!

Even if you never write fiction, I encourage you to give it a try! It's a fantastic way to exercise your creative muscles, become a better story teller, and a more well rounded writer!

And I promise to read every response, so at the very least you have reader in me.

Today's Writing Prompt:

Can you write a story that gives me the chills in less than 300 words?
