Spooktober 2022 Progress Report

>>> 31/31 Prompts Completed <<<

Howdy, one and all. The weather is cooling, the leaves are turning, and the real (skeleton marimba meme) vibes are riding in the air. All that means one thing: the Spooktober challenge season is upon us once again! You will find the 31 spooky prompts for this challenge - and my responses to them - entombed below. Last year, I barely managed to squeak by with 15(ish) submissions; this time, I hope to fulfill every single one in a way that I can feel proud of. That's quite a hefty order for the month leading up to NaNoWriMo, but the last thing that spooks me is the prospect of a daunting challenge. Now let's see what kind of creative juices I can scare up!
