Dead thread deserves a new chance at life.

Horror-esque: write a story in which the thing that incites terror is never revealed.
or: center your story around a mask.

Happier: write from the POV of a puppy
or: your characters go to a place they've never been before

If anyone is in want for prompts, your unicorn-of-love is here to supply some.

-write a story centered around a piano (not necessarily in location, lol)
-write a dialog-only story about a surprising discovery
