Greetings, my dear InMonsters! Yes; I stole that from LoveTheBadGuy. Thought it fitting, today being Halloween; I also picked some creepy-sounding prompts, which I guess technically should have been last week, to build up to Halloween, but I didn’t think of it till today. Anyway, read some genius! /

The Rules
There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.
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.
The Prompts:
escape your own skin*
check for monsters
innocent costume
what you can’t see will kill you
riddles in the dark**

Happy writing!

* Inspired by this story about a redeemed skinhead.
** Yes, I’m re-reading The Hobbit. I suggest you all do in preparation for the first movie to come out next year (*can barely contain excitement*).

HALLOWEEN THEME? 🙂
Oh yes. XD
Oooh! Such awesome, creepy prompts. 😀
Thank you!
SO excited for the Hobbit. This is going to be amazing.
Great prompts, hopefully I’ll have something written up soon.
Yes! It should have come out THIS December…but stuff kept pushing it back. *sigh*
I AM READING THE HOBBIT TOO!!! I AM SO TEMPTED TO WRITE THAT CHAPTER IN!!!
Anyway, on monsters and all, a very light-hearted piece 🙂

Haha, I would probably read it!
hey there – Loved the prompts. Bit of a two-for one this week. Might even check in with a third if the writing gods allow it.

Here’s my effort for this week, written while waiting for my daughter to wake up. i don’t think it’s finished, but my character told me it was over so…

The story about the reformed skinhead was very touching and inspirational 🙂 Maybe I’ll see if I can work up something on that one. I’ve just past 4000 words this morning for my NaNo, so I’m a bit a head of the game and could use this as a ‘break’. (LOL writing as a break from writing? 8-|…)
Woah! More power to ya!
This was tough after a morning of NaNo. The edit police were on strike. I managed, but barely, Robin

Taking a break from today’s words for NaNo and thought I would try some 140 character stories for the prompt – ‘escape from your skin’

Hope you don’t mind Mike, but I used you as inspiration for my entries this week!

These are great. I hope you enjoyed trying something different.
Have you seen the ‘One Forty Fiction’ blog? I think you should submit some or all of these.

Thanks for the link Mike!
I’ll definitely submit something soon. 🙂
Rewriters helping rewriters. Too awesome for words.
Ha! Resisted the impulse to write a “patriotic” Hobbit, but … well
