Prompts for 10 October 2025
Write about going for a walk
echoing murmurs
“isn’t that what you like?”
A character who wants reassurance
Pentober prompt 10.10.25: Shatter
The whispers of the fairies sent echoing murmurs through the misty wood. Sophia continued to walk, carefully avoiding the shattered mirrors reflecting nothing along the pathway. Sophia knew the fairies of this forest, always mischievous, sometimes cruel, always seeking attention for reassurance that their magic still captivated those who dared enter their arboreal domain. Sophia moved forward steadily, whispering an old song as she went.
The mists of lore
Long may they hide
The secrets of those
Whose spirits run wide
Along the way at dusk.
“Isn’t that what you like, fairy friends? Songs of the past, of secrets and dark mysteries?” Sophia drew near to the forest’s edge, not looking behind her as she stepped beyond their influence in the mist. As soon as she entered the wide open meadow, alight with sunshine and daisies, she ran away at a sprint. The fairies had not captured her yet.
Nice, spooky little tale. Nice combo, too!
