Let’s do another month of M’s prompts shall we. 101 words allowed only. I know I said I was done with them. I lie. Probably should have wrote this in October but hey ho, better late than never. Think it works rather well as an idea given the prompt.
Joseph stood before the mirror, the face staring back a contorted mockery of his former self. He tried to smile and he raised a trembling hand to his face, slowly running his fingers along the scars.
He still remembered the pain as the fire tore through his flesh, the smell as it cooked and melted his face filling his nostrils until they too succumbed to the heat.
He turned away unable to look any more, he was too grotesque and the memories too painful.
Grabbing his coat he headed outside, at least it was Halloween and he didn’t need a mask.

You should check out carrot ranch and Charlie mills.
She ran a contest and the last part was something called TUFF.
It had you write a short 99 word piece then distill in right down to 9 words n then build it back up to 600 words.
They have good challenges too
