It’s one of those mornings when the coffee cools quickly cools, so suddenly I’ve decided to heat things up with an #ImpromtuPrompt #ThursdayTen!

Before we get down to business, though, I want to thank “Someone” for buying me a coffee yesterday. That certain “Someone” is a very kind supporter of my writing, and a person I’m so glad to call my friend. Thank you, I appreciate you muchly.

And on to the business of the day: ten word stories!! Spooky edition!!

Now typically I will use just one image, but our friend @Dcroucher has been busy making a bunch of creepy crawly spooky images for Halloween so I’m going to give you options. You can use any or all, weave them together (oh yes, you can have 50 words if you want for that, or try to cram it into 10, it’s your story) but you know the catch.

Your story must be EXACTLY ten words (per image.) Just say which you’re using by number or name! Or making us guess could be fun too.

EXACTLY ten words.

Image 1 is above, lets call it: Girl. Description: a charcoal image of the back of a girl in a tattered dress with floating, messy hair walking a path that curves around her, headed toward spiky buildings on mountains. Ahead of her, dull balloons float, tied to her hair. Credit: @Dcroucher

Image 2: Haunted

A transparent ghosts floats over a creaky wooden floor in a big, empty library with an arched ceiling and rows of bookshelves and tables. Credit: @Dcroucher

Image 3: Forest

Cats and carved pumpkins and goblins and witches line a spooky path with bare trees and a full moon with something dark and sinister flying in front of it. Credit: @Dcroucher

Image 4: Summoning

A woman with long dark hair and a flowing dark dress commands a swirling army of bats. Credit: @Dcroucher.

Image 5: Snowstorm

In a swirling heavily oil-painted snowstorm, a huge gray shadow with long arms looms above two figures, one standing closer to it and one closer to us, the viewer, knee deep in snow. Credit: @Dcroucher

So those are all the images! I have to play too, so ready?

Here are mine! Well one 10 word story and one rebellion:

Snowstorm:

When he grew closer he realized which was the shadow.

Girl (I’m breaking my own rules here, it’s way more than 10 words but this popped into my head so I’m going rogue:

The balloons never left her

No matter how she tried

So one day she cut them

And cried and cried and cried.

Ok so I’m a total maverick! Anyway, have a great Thursday and happy writing!

Buy me a cup of coffee!
