Hello Darklings, 
          
          Do you have any spooktacular prompts you'd like to share with fellow @afterdark readers and writers? 
          
          Share your suggestions below, and your entry might be added in our prompts inspiration book! 
          
          Here are some to get us started! 
          
          The last thing you remember is laughter echoing through a haze of smoke and red lights. It’s morning now, and the room is too quiet. Your reflection grins back, fangs glinting, white and sharp. You try to pry them loose, but they don’t belong to the costume anymore. They belong to you.

@OnceUponALily These are awesome! Thank you!

Here’s a few of my own:
            - In a world where dreams are traded like currency, you stumble upon a nightmare that doesn’t belong to you. As you delve deeper into the dreamscape, the boundaries between consciousness and the terrifying truths hidden in the dark blur, revealing secrets that someone is desperate to keep from waking.
            - During a midnight stroll, you discover a peculiar book lying on a park bench. The pages are filled with the names of people, all of whom disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As you turn the pages, your own name suddenly appears with a date set for tomorrow. Can you unravel the book’s dark mystery before time runs out?
            - Every year, on the same night, a small town experiences a chilling phenomenon: everyone falls asleep at exactly 11:17 PM, waking up at dawn with no memory of the night. This time, however, you refuse to sleep and uncover a horrifying reality hidden beneath this numbing routine. What happens when you confront the source of the town’s collective slumber?
