Well, guys, we had some participation this week! jomz wrote a prompt response, and I know I'll be reading it as soon as I get a chance to breathe. *whew* Busy, busy weekend!
Since SomeGuy is encouraging all to write their own creepy stories, I thought I'd include at least one scary prompt for the rest of the month. My own story is underway, so hopefully I'll have finished that really soon!
Here are your standard reminders before we start this week's fun. Remember that these prompts are not specific questions to be answered. They are just words, phrases, and ideas that are meant to jumpstart your creativity. It's wonderful if your response ties in closely with the prompt, if that's the idea you have, but it's equally wonderful if its relevance to the prompt is just some odd leap you made in your head. If you want to play but you're having trouble, think of it as word association. Read each prompt over, write down the first sentence that comes to mind for each, and run with one of those!
Here are your prompts for this week:
1. Write about two generations.
2. The lights go out.
3. "I just want to go back there."
4. Write about a gate.
5. Give the "dark and stormy night" cliche a twist: write about something horrible that happens on a bright, sunny day.
Enjoy!
