Spooktober 2022

I tried to join in for Spooktober last year in 2021, but I quickly ran out of "spoons" and had to scrap it in favor of prepping for WorldEmber. This year, I'm going to take it easy and not try to overcommit myself! I'm planning short articles, maybe some smashed together art, some poetry, and a few little horror stories!

I already have a few thoughts banging together in my head, so let's see where this takes us!

The Prompts

Potrait

Veronika Blom - Evanescent by Chris L - Edited Midjourney

A gallery of portraits of famous singers throughout the years. These sirens burned brightly on the stage. They all died at twenty-seven.

Vanish

Doll Left Behind by Chris L - Midjourney

That Shatter the Pit filled with teeth and tentacles and one unblinking eye. Wails of anguish rose in the Zone as the parents realized that every child had vanished.

Abandoned

The largest most beautiful home in the city stands silent and abandoned. No one has entered or left in decades, but the lights still turn on at night.

Enchant

Ghost Lights of the Kirinal Wastes by Chris L - Midjourney

The low seismic song rumbles your guts. The swamp lights call out. They enchant those fools who travel alone.

Misfortune

The Misfortunate by Chris L - Midjourney

Some poor children just get lost. They go through the wrong door at the wrong time. How will they find their way home?

Chasm

The Gray Chasm by Chris L - Midjourney

The starkly lit Gray Chasm rises into infinity and descends into nothingness. To escape, you must find the light, but it always retreats around the next bend.

Thorn

They say that blood berries are the sweetest, but their thorns are also the sharpest.

Howl

Vertex Lycan Howling by Chris L - Midjourney

The vertex lycans fractured howl bleeds in from other dimensions than ours. We only see some of the beast, we cannot comprehend it's totality.

Lock

Locks of the Kirinal River by Chris L - Midjourney

The locks on the Kirinal River can hold back almost anything. A river of fire, a tsunami of blood, a plague of oozes; the elves are always prepared.

Door

Lock of the Divine Gate by Chris L - Midjourney

A gate in space locks away our little system of worlds. Elder evils lurk outside, pressing against the door, waiting to enter.

Curse

The Cursed are Coming by Chris L - Midjourney

When the light hits the wall just so, you can see them reaching out. Their hunger is unending. But we still have lives to lead.

Possess

There is a painting of shadows and light that demands your attention. It wants you to own it. It wants to possess you back.
