Contests and Challenges

The Underworld Fax Machine {CLOSED}

*There were no entries*

Yea, you read that title correctly. 🤣

Alrighty, this is the first Paranormal contest of the year! Happy Valentine's Day!

You sign your name at the bottom of the last page and fold it neatly into the red envelope. This letter holds entire pages worth of your deepest desires and it bares the name of someone on Earth that may never even know of your existence. You burn it to ashes to rid of the evidence of what you've secretly written. 

Little did you know, you just faxed it to someone with the same name living in the Underworld.

**[Useful Lore]

How to fax a letter to the underworld:

1. Handwrite your message on regular paper. Any paper is fine.

2. Once finished, seal it within an envelope.

3. Write the name of the person you wish to send it to.

4. Burn it. Completely.

5. The recipient  will receive your letter real-time, as fast as the fire can burn it.

6. If you receive a response, a small controlled fire will appear before you. The ashes will form into said response.

**Loopholes and additional faxing rules are at the discretion of the writers. If you have any questions about "what if" scenarios, we don't know either. It's left open for interpretation and imagination. Have fun with it. Make it up as you go- It's your story!
