"Write a children's holiday story beginning with any version of "Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh." You may use that actual opening, or you may change it to any similar version "[Verb of your choice]ing through the [any substance you choose] in a [conveyance of any kind]." For example, "Dashing through the sand in a two-wheeled donkey cart" or "Sloshing through the swamp in a green and white canoe" or "Flying through the air in a striped hot air balloon..." You get the idea, I'm sure :) But "Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh" is completely acceptable too - whatever works for you :) Your story may be poetry or prose, silly or serious or sweet, religious or not, based on Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever you celebrate, but is not to exceed 350 words."My husband Robert Fyfe, creator of Fairy Magic Photos and Family Harmony Comics, created this entry. It is to the tune of "Jingle Bells," but he wrote it tongue-in-cheek, not really intending to win anything. He just thought it was funny to write a horror version of the song. And yes, I know that he sometimes has a sick sense of humor, and I'm okay with that.
Blood Will Flow Today
Dashing through the snow
it's late in to the day
fearful of the night
this isn’t time to play
it's late in to the day
fearful of the night
this isn’t time to play
Sparkle light sparkle bright
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
Watching the moon rise
listening for a sound
fear strikes every one
as hearts begin to pound
listening for a sound
fear strikes every one
as hearts begin to pound
Sparkle light sparkle bright
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
From up above a shape
flutters into view
then shoots like a rocket
your numbers growing few
flutters into view
then shoots like a rocket
your numbers growing few
Sparkle light sparkle bright
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
Your standing now alone
no one now left to share
they're standing motion less
with a hypnotic cold dead stare
no one now left to share
they're standing motion less
with a hypnotic cold dead stare
Sparkle light sparkle bright
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
sparkle all the way
wings are stretched and teeth are bared
for blood will flow today
