This week’s writing prompt takes its cues from sleep… although not a very restful sleep. Do you remember the last nightmare you had? If not, below are three possible settings, just ripe for a sudden nightmare twist.

This week’s prompt is inspired by Christopher McMahon’s monsters (one of which is below). Let’s write about a monster this week, whether it’s a giant moth, a pieced-together frankenstein, or a kid-friendly type. Rawr!

Let’s sneak up behind some folks this week, and try to read their minds just by staring at the back of their heads. And then write about it. Ready, get set, go!
