Counting down to Horror in the Cage

My first ever "cage match" starts in a little less than five hours and I'm not sure what to expect.  Al Boudreau, a very talented writer in his own right, will be posting a prompt at Noon and then I'm off to write my 1,500 words that will tear your soul apart! (insert awesome Hell Raiser comment here)

Okay, that may be pushing things a little. *Disclaimer: No souls will be torn apart or harmed in any other way during the course of this cage match.

I do have a strategy, however. EYEBALLS! Yes, you read my right – EYEBALLS! If I get stuck, a good eyeball scene can get both me and the reader right back on track. There's a lot you can do to an eyeball and it all starts with a good poke with a sharpened object – say, for instance, a sharpened quill!  Once you get that quill through the cornea there's no end to the mayhem!

Now you know my strategy: tear your soul apart and if I get stuck then fall back on rooting around an eyeball or two with something sharp.

Catch all of the action starting at Noon EST at http://alboudreau.wordpress.com when Al posts the prompt. Voting starts tomorrow right back on Al's blog in this double-blind writing contest where two horror writers go in and only one horror writer comes out. That's four possible eyeballs to work with and I can't wait to get started!
