vsshorror/horrorprompt is my submission for word to use. Not popular from what I can see. Ack!

twitter crosspost || 03jun22

Another plethora of bullpucky from the past few revolutions of the blue marble. Prompts (when appropriate) are tagged in-tweet. Content after the jump.

NOTE: my submitted word is the prompt for tomorrow’s #horrorprompt/#vsshorror. Sorry.

sitting in mute #reverie
vague tendrils of
dreamtime memories
hovering over
coffee steam

vsshorror/horrorprompt:

The site of the infection #radiated a searing heat & Glenn snatched his hand away with a yelp. He was about to make an unfavorable diagnosis when the barbed tentacles pushed open the wound & the squid-like head pushed its way through the putrefied flesh.#horrorprompt #vsshorror pic.twitter.com/cX7k8G5Ktq

#vssHauntedHouse:

At the door at the end a long hall, the stained walls seemed to #whisper & wallpaper undulated w/ insectile movement. Stains from the ceiling grew sickly grey & brown fingers, stretching downwards to grasp at her.

Valery hesitated, her hand on the doorknob.#vssHauntedHouse pic.twitter.com/0OsWbG8uU8

vss365tbt:

He moved through the crowd, vision growing more warped & curved fisheye with each plodding step, his hands two helium-filled balloons threatening to carry him skyward.

Everything had grown more #surreal since wandering out of the wood. Nothing seemed quite the same.#vss365tbt pic.twitter.com/TwYPyw6BGE

vsshorror/horrorprompt:

He caressed her dark hair as he carried her over the threshold, making coos & other sounds of affection.

"No more will you suffer neglect. I will love you beyond words."

Her cooling body didn't respond, but he knew she loved him back. They always did.#vsshorror #horrorprompt pic.twitter.com/GgbcXdUrhM

vsshorror/horrorprompt:

She scattered scarlet #flowers w/ petals lush as velvet, on crisp white sheets.

Come, she said, patting the bed as she sat down. Lay w/ me. He couldn't resist, even if he wanted to. He didn't.

He felt nothing as her teeth pierced his chest & she moaned.#horrorprompt #vsshorror pic.twitter.com/tLzU1cnMIg

She always smelled either of #jasmine or myrrh: jasmine when she wanted to seem playful & friendly. Myrrh was for when she had other designs on her time and — if you were lucky enough to pick up the scent — your time as well.#vss365tbt

vss365:

His makeup & hair became his #barrier: it kept the bullying at bay when they could not decide if he was alive or undead. They couldn't decide if he would stay dead if he was killed, or if he'd get up & keep coming after them like Jason in those movies. He let them wonder.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/0cTNZEeTX8

vss365:

"I am no #mage," he told her as he wandered towards the place where forest became shadows or, perhaps, shadows became forest.

Sensing four words would not be enough, he sighed. "I only notice what others overlook. That is not magic."

She remained unconvinced.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/Uu7THGKT0C

vsshorror/horrorprompt:

I fell to my knees, exhausted and #chill-ed to the bone. Snow painted in the blood of the day's dying sun reminded me of the scene back at the cabin.

Had that not given me strength, the rasping breathing of the wendigo on my trail was incentive enough.#horrorprompt #vsshorror https://t.co/f5FbBjmVrX

vss365:

Pain is my #prison. Ice metal finger clutch my chest, my head explodes in color cascades, & bowels knot twist when I try to leave my invisible cage.

She laughs with every wince or whimper, then assures me she loves me best.

And I believe her.#vss365

vsshorror/horrorprompt:

Though my muscles were stretched beyond all limits, every fibre tensed at the slow footsteps behind me. A crack of a cat-o-nine.

"I will #savor each strip of your raw flesh consumed, you know," he said. "I will know you more intimately than any lover."#vsshorror #horrorprompt https://t.co/uqzWjapNT7

Eschewing a potential #climax, the author had the gunslingers both holster their guns, shooting only hard stares before each turned on their heels to fade like so much dust into twilight desert. No shots fired, no pools of blood, just ambiguity left hanging in the air.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/kYdDUu1ARo

They say she still haunts those #crepuscular hours on the Path of the Sun, tempting unwary travelers to the ramshackle remains of her once-opulent home. There, she drains them until they are dry husks to be carried away by a bitter, laughing wind.#horrorprompt #vsshorror https://t.co/nX6Bmlq5lQ
