They're evacuating, Mother says, for real - it's not a drill anymore. It's nothing of the sort.Kit might not be living in the same house as his siblings anymore, but he's got other things on his mind. From the strange tension between their hosts' daughter and his friend to the rumours of strange disappearances over the summer, life in Vinmire seems a lot more dangerous than home. Even if Hitler does want to bomb the city... it's nothing certain yet, right?But the bodies of girls that start turning up are real. Horrifyingly so. And if Kit can't work out who's behind the murders, who's to say that his sisters won't be next?What can you do about it when nobody knows how trustworthy you can be? When nobody believes that you're worried about the goings-on before your arrival? When nobody but your classmates really know who you are?…

In which I steer clear of witches and move to mermaids, sirens, and all things ocean -- something interesting considering I'm very hydrophobic and that's saying nothing about thalassophobic! These prompts -- mostly -- come from 'Writer's Lagoon' by talesofthedeep (link in my conversations), and I'm gonna try to answer every prompt, not necessarily in order -- I might write 20 before 14, for example. I'll put the number of the prompt according to the book in the title of the chapter, so you know where to be looking.Symbols in the title (||, \\, //, etc.) show which story 'set' it's linked with. If it's just a : then there's nothing else linked to the story within the book. So far:St Mhairi = ||…

As a GCSE English student, I'll have to do this one question during the exam that is basically 'write a story' or 'write a description'. Here's some examples of answers to this specific question -- mostly story, though you can judge what 'Gold (The Frimmaenti Tree)' is yourself. I'm confused by that one.Images used (even if the story is more word-prompt than image-prompt) will be included.You're free to use this stuff for inspiration if you wish!…
