Them
Challenge: Write dystopian fiction using the prompt. It was dark. Too dark. I should have been inside by now. But I just had to go talk to Paul.

Tokyo Blood
Challenge: Write horror using the prompt. It was a dark alley where nobody walked. Yuki slid into the looming darkness as she held her purse tight, afraid, trembling from the shivers of the night.

Meant to Be
Challenge: Write a fictional biography with at least five clichés. I looked at myself in the mirror on this Monday morning – something I thought I, to that day, could not do without shooing my freckles away.

Sunset Mountain
Challenge: Write a romance using the prompt. There was something endearing to the pink hue of the sunset that loomed beneath the mountain.
