Question re: a visual novel I would like to make

Hello, I am a solodev that wants to make something for Spooktober. I read over the guidelines, and it looks like it fits, but I feel like it's a dicey topic, so I might as well ask:

I am hoping to create a work of Creative Non-Fiction recounting my personal traumatic events regarding dogs. Nothing explicit or anything like that, but it will be uncomfortable horror, and tread on topics such as animal violence, abuse, diseases, and death that have happened in real life. Would this sort of topic be allowed for Spooktober? (The work will not be advocating for any harm to myself or animals, but rather, advocate for their better treatment, if anything.)

Sorry for the delay in answering, we've been busy working and ramping up for the competition coming.
