13 Prompts of Halloween: Empty Chairs

For our next prompt, we want you to imagine an empty chair. It can be any empty chair. One you read in at the library, one you eat dinner in, or maybe even one you used to play musical chairs with when you were young. #Options

But, now you’re task is simple…make it spooky and tell it’s story.

Why is the chair empty? Who used to sit there? Do they still “sit” there?

It’s all up to you… Good luck! And don’t forget to send your work to us here at the Green Light! Don’t be haunted that you missed this opportunity.

13 Prompts of Halloween: Under the Floorboards

Now, on day four, we draw inspiration from another great source of horror… Edgar Allan Poe.

Any true fans of Horror or Poe, should already know where this is going. It’s time to take a page out of “The Tell-tale Heart” by Poe.

Tell the story of a new homeowner doing some repairs around his/her home. For whatever reason, s/he pulls up a floorboard. But, from between the others, a human eye blinks.

Dun, Dun, DUN!!!

We cannot wait to see the results. Tweet us at #GreenLightLit and let us know how your work turned out! (Or, we’d really love to see your piece in our inbox for our next Halloween issue!
