Three More Writing Prompts for Uneasy Fiction

Just a short post this week to give myself time to make progress with my manuscript, working title: Generic. I hope these will give you some ideas for weird or eerie fantasy fiction. Go ahead and write your response in the comments!

1. You awaken to find that your flesh has become translucent, and you can see your blood, bones and organs within yourself. Trapped in your stomach, you notice three small artefacts. What are they? What will occur as your body attempts to digest these strange artefacts?

2. Walking through a graveyard, you notice an open grave with a coffin inside, so you climb into the coffin and lie there. Passersby stop and stare silently. You find that, with a little concentration, you can hear their thoughts. What are they thinking? How long will you lie there?

3. While reading a strange book bequeathed to you by a relative you never met, you notice a peculiar smell. You get up and begin to trace the odour to its source. What will you find when you get there? Are the book and the odour connected and, if so, how?

See you again next week for more fiction or other ideas about writing!
