Ah, I've been learning some interesting trivia (and speculations) through these... but so far, the stories you have come up with have been one of the biggest treats!

or

First to give it a go

You have up to 1500 words and time until tomorrow noon (WdC time) to turn these prompts into some chilling tales. Best of luck!
