Hi Inkwell,
Ah that's a pity.
I had read the rules. I figured by the end of the story it would have all explained itself that the severed head was just part of a costume on Halloween. No real blood or gore here, unless I didn't get my story across properly, then it's just my own fault!
Trying to explain it the way I did, making it seem like it was a real head at the beginning, was because of the second part of this week's challenge, to hook the reader in from the start.
Nothing sucks someone in like a perceived REAL severed head! 😁
If it's still not allowed then that's fair enough, I'll keep this one for myself outside the Inkwell, and I won't skirt so close to the edge next time for future prompts.
