| Where is this ship going? Who is on board? Do the people in the town welcome its arrival? |
Prompts
- Today's guardian angel is Imamiah, a fallen angel who supervises and controls voyages. Write about a voyage which is being controlled by an angel - or if you prefer, a demon. Where are your characters going, and why? Why does the angel or demon want them to get there (or not get there)? What goes wrong, or right?
- "Anything becomes interesting if you look at it long enough." Gustave Flaubert
- It's Gingerbread House day, so write a story entitled The Gingerbread House. It can be made of gingerbread, or be a real house that looks as if it ought to be.
- From today in Iceland they celebrate the Yule Lads. These mischievous spirits were once seen as cannibals which would eat bad children; now they just play tricks. One arrives each night between now and Yule and have names like Pot Scraper and Sausage Sniffer. Your character lives in a culture where a new mischievous spirit is said to arrive every evening between now and Christmas. Perhaps it only happens to one family as a result of an old curse. Exactly what the spirits are and what they do is entirely up to you. What do people to to mitigate the activities of the spirits?
- The Kingdom of Ice.
