I'm a southern Black writer in the horror community, but I've been considering making this change anyway. I don't want to be complicit in people feeling comfortable using slurs out of context or minimizing their damage.

#2SpookySentences is now #2ScarySentences

It's Me, It's TK! @tkjoinsthefray.bsky.social · 10d

Today is the first day of October aka Halloween 1st and that means I'm bringing back spooky writing prompts with #2SpookySentences! Concoct a spooky story, two sentences at a time.

One way or another, the thing that was keeping the Lochlych trapped in the dreams, would capture it and drag it back. The ghoul had made itself into the stuff of nightmares, so to be among the awake, fleshy creatures was unnatural.

Fix it in place, hold in down, devour the ghoul to learn its secrets. Or will you have to peel the rune-marked skin from its flesh and wear it's secrets as a suit?

What was left behind, a trail of blood splatter and the smell of cardamom and old magic, leads me right to them. They are surprised to see me, but when the lochlych looks into my hungry eyes it is knowingly pleased.

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

An unsated appetite for games is what hold the Locklych to this world. The realms beyond death may hold paradise or damnation, but the Locklych only cares to smugly outwit death, to win against the ultimate tilted table.

What you remember from the dream fades quickly, your mind scrabbling to grab on to any important detail like a limp armed rock climber desperate to find a loose root on their rock-scraping death plummet. Then, one word: Lochlych.

Quite unexpectedly, the ghoul turns around and gives you a conspiratorial wink before departing into the chill night, as if you intended to help free this nightmare.

Good vibrations shudder through your body as something within you wants run along side it. You miss the ghoul like a wanton werewolf misses the full moon.

What you heard about ghouls moving quickly doesn't do justice to bloody smear across your eyes as it dashes out of the room, freed to feed in this world. By you.

It’s late, you’re tired, and you fumble for the light switch while taking off your shoes and coat and trying not to drop your overstuffed bags. You shuffle to the couch, going for minutes, but never feel the soft bump of its worn surface against your knees: unexpected but okay.

It's spooky season, which means post gothic themed photo shoots. Sage and Iron creations knocked my bride Ereshkigal photos out of the park. #blacksky #cosplay #blackcosplay

Legit begging y'all to learn how to blend makeup on dark skin. Ignorance wasn't cute back when I was working in salons, and it ain't cute now.

You keep arguing back, so sure of your senses in the moment every time someone tries to "help you see sense". But when you really think about it, what was it that you heard, trying not to breathe too loudly and contain your jackrabbit heart in that cramped little closet?
