The Writing Prompts

~Please keep in mind that these are not required to use, but you are more than welcome to use them for inspiration for your story.~

🎃 The MC is a paranormal detective assigned to a case, "The Pan Files." A demon is slipping don't kids' bedrooms and unaliving them to save them from adulthood's misery.

🎃 Death is in a post-apocalyptic world. Only a few survivors are left, and he/she is doing everything they can to keep the humans alive because if they all die, so does death. The survivors can't see death, but they can feel his/her's presence and notice his/her's efforts. The survivors start to call Death "Life."

🎃 The MC is a spirit that has just passed away. They quickly realize that they were murdered, but no one knows where he/she/they are. The MC has to retrace their steps in life leading to their murder to find who killed them and tip the living detective looking for his/her's/their corpse.

🎃 A detective is slaving away on a gruesome serial killer case. Every time they think they're getting close to catching the culprit, the MO changes. That is until they finally catch up with the killer, and it's the detective's spouse.

🎃 You're tucking the little girl in that you're babysitting. As you pull the cover up to her chin, she smiles and says, "Don't worry about the monster under my bed. He only hurts people I don't like and I like you."

🎃 A woman has been dating guy after guy, but it never seems to work out. What she doesn't know is she's been dating the same guy. He's a shapeshifter and madly in love with her. This time he's determined to get it right.

🎃 A girl goes missing fifteen years ago. Years later, her parents get a call from her now older self. They listen in fear because they both know they killed her all those years ago on that dark night.

🎃 One day, you get injured. The cut is deep, but instead of finding blood and muscles, you see wires.

🎃 The hero fights the villain. The only thing is, your hero can tell that the villain isn't exactly giving it their all anymore. Out of frustration that the villain has wasted their time, your hero says, "Are you going to fight or not? I swear to ___ you're only coming crimes to see me. Have you fallen in love with me?"

It's meant to be a taunt to get the villain riled up, so the last thing they expect is from the Villain to say, "Yes." with complete and utter seriousness.
