Weekend Challenge: Fantasy/Mystery/Thriller prompts

[kitmerlot1213.livejournal.com]

Greetings comrades!  I am running the Weekend Challenge on this fabulous July weekend, so we are going for a darkly mysterious one this time:  fantasy/mystery/thriller prompts.  For example:  “A woman who didn’t know she was adopted meets her twin sister, who gives her a dire warning.”    Very intersting indeed :):)  Simply choose a number between 1 and 25 and I'll send you a mysterious prompt :):)

I hope this craziness inspires you, so please be as creative as you can--drabbles/fics can be as long as you want but at least 200 words and you can do any sort of art work the spirit moves you    Just post your work by Thursday night at 11:59pm EST, and you'll be golden.  Lastly, HAVE FUN!!!
