Many of this week’s entries read like micro novels with their own plots and turning points. It only takes a few beats to conjure up a story: the sickeningly sweet atmosphere of an abusive relationship, violence just beneath the surface of every interaction. The complicated heartache of seeing an estranged parent pass. High Noon in a classic Western. Or the uncomfortable feeling of a plot twist creeping up on you as the Ouija board gives clear answers for a change.
Thank you for all your contributions!
The fourth week’s Turning Tales thread is now closed.
You can no longer post your own entry. But you still have a whole week to give Likes to the entries you love. 
The submission that gets the most books 
will be celebrated with a full year of Papyrus Author+. On top, we’ll give away another year of Papyrus Author+ to one of the participants at random.
On Tuesday, November 15th, you will find out who won.
The fifth week of Turning Tales starts today, and this week, we’re exploring abandoned homes.
