October Prompts Week 4

Blood is thicker than water, people say. Then why was it that every time you looked at that picture in your family's photo album, you felt like you were forgetting something... someone?

Week 1: Figurines
Everyone has some: those old dolls your grandmother collects with eyes that always seem to be starting at you, the rusted gold statues your mother places on her kitchen table that always seems to move, your sisters avid collection of stuffed animals that wreck of something familiar, your gnomes outside that you swear laugh in the middle of the night.

Week 2: Pumpkins
It is that time of the year again, where spookiness takes its main stage and sings a horror note for us all. A carved pumpkin is not uncommon to behold in such a month. Now, could you tell us some stories involving the traditional carved smiling pumpkin head?

Week 3: Shadows
Shadows on the wall, shadows in the hall. Was it a man? Was it something else? In the night, the moonlight shines upon the dimly lit places. Chills run up your spine, you look around- what could be hiding in the dark?

Week 4:Notes
Secret notes, death threats, thieving notices. What will your note say?
