OR
No really; I need rules!
Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.

My new Haiku story with all five prompts
Shouldn’t it be “Necromantic Comedy”? You know, like Romantic Comedy? Though “Necromance” is a great verb, so long as it means “I am going to talk to your dead people” rather than something else…
And, you can’t say you didn’t ask for this.

I think “romance comedy” is also a fairly common term – more a description of the genre as a whole, though, while romantic comedy refers to a single instance (???). Romance-comedy probably should have a hyphen though.
And BTW, when your book is made into a movie, I’m so going to do one of those “re-cut as a rom-com” trailers (er…bribe one of my videographer friends to do it). With Disney music.
Lol! Ok, that, right there, makes all the labor worthwhile. Assuming, of course, that it gets published and enough people read it to warrant moviedom. 😉
Have you realized, yet, that Ro is involved with magic mirrors? Now that I’m looking, I am seeing all sorts of crazy connections.
Rosa IS the *cough* fairest of them all.
I went with Necromance Comedy too…
