Weekend Writing Prompt #386 – Teach
For the fifth year (oh my, can you believe it?!), I’m hosting 13 Days of Samhain, a Horror / Halloween writing prompt challenge. I’ve enjoyed it these past four years and I hope those who have joined in with it have too! (For those interested, you can find the previous years’ prompts here and here and here and here).
So, without further ado, here are the 13 prompts for 2024, with the first prompt beginning tomorrow, 20th October, and the last prompt, Day 13, falling on November 1st:
If you do decide to join in, I hope you have lots and lots of fun. Write whatever you wish, as long as it is inspired by that day’s prompt. Here’s a little graphic / badge for anyone who wants:
Am I joining in this year? I’m not sure yet, in all honesty. For the past three years, I’ve written a new Damon the Demon story, and I really, really, really want to write another. However, at the moment, I know I just don’t have the time. But we will see…Perhaps I will manage it…somehow…
13 Days of Samhain (volume v) – A Horror / Halloween Writing Prompt Challenge
It happened at midnight
The frightening sight
And it took all my might
To try not to look at the devilish delight.
It wasn’t just the horrid blight
Of the dark in the middle of the night
I was mesmerized by the site
On my computer screen all alight
The colors were way too bright
They were amazing even in spite
Of the laptop’s age–twenty years, quite
The devil appeared in all his right
Through the wild colors, there was no slight
In spectacle as I looked with fright
It was like I was cast in a spell of benight
But that wasn’t the worst this night
Before, I thought my room was airtight
But was suddenly surrounded by aplite
Unable to move myself from my plight
I couldn’t escape the devil’s might
And succumbed to his evil bedights
I never woke up from this, despite
All my efforts, I went down in the fight.

Can You Tell A Story In…
***
I came upon a mysterious sight
A child sitting in the light
The sun was readable-bright
He seemed to revel in the write
Many years have passed since then
The year? I don’t remember when
The child grown, innocence flown
A teacher now, skills are honed
Remembers how in sun’s light
Reading was such a delight
His classes now held outside
Experiencing new just feels right
Proudly offers fresh insight
Teaching under readable-bright.

Get to know kennings
It’s Jack-o’-lanterns…
Perched on porches
Staring from steps
Grinning from garages
Sinister on swings
Frightening on fences
Leering from lawns
Creeping from clematis
Jeering from jasmine
Eerie from evergreens
Harrowing from hydrangeas

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #352
The intermediate news moderators try to come between political debaters, ask questions, and stay calm through rants and long winded speeches. This usually fails so they installed mute buttons on the microphones. Even that failed when the debaters refused to obey simple rules. Have you watched them? What do you think? Did you learn anything?🧐🙄

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – October 15, 2024
I like getting up to sunshine, but as I age, any sleep I can get is appreciated.
When I was a child I saw the movie “Fall of the House of Usher” and it still gives me the creeps these days!
Any candy is fun and I wonder how much of it is stored for the next year. Tons of packaging with Halloween motif but it’s still the regular candy. And Christmas decorations are already up. Forget about Thanksgiving turkey shaped candy… ever wonder what happens to all oft this stuff?😳
