Eric's Log Line Challenge asked participants to submit a one or two sentence story premise using the following elements: A beach lifeguard, a haunted jack-o-lantern, and Hawaiian resort. Participants were judged on the following story elements; High Stakes, Entertainment Value, Strong Hero, Strong Conflict, Strong Adversary, and an ability to help a reader visualize the conflict line.

This month's winner is Collin Wachter:
Within a few hours, a hurricane will wash upon the Hawaiian shore and destroy the resort. Lifeguard Kellin can't find any other staff and he will have to lead guests to safety himself, but people are vanishing. Kellin and his resort guests must confront a jack-o-lantern haunted by the soul of a drowned boy he couldn't save. Trapped between a storm on land and a storm at sea, can they survive?

Winner: Collin Wachter
