You want to hear about a truly evil creature? A creature made up of millions of monsters. Monsters that work with one mind -- one goal -- one voice.

Come closer to the fire and listen to my tale... If you dare... Let me tell you about...

The Borg.

~ From Neelix's Delta Quadrant Tales

October is the month for Halloween and all things scary. And as things that go bump in the night go -- what's more frightening than the Borg? This month's contest is to write a story involving the Borg, and more importantly, the Borg Queen. And try to work in the line "there's nothing more frightening than the Borg".

Congrats to the winners! Collect your awards here! There are awards for everyone who entered!

And remember to check under your bed before you go to sleep!

A big thank you to Ralkana for the Borg background and for the quick beta reading!
