Writing Prompt [WP] It was all too much. The Eternal Servants were mechanical men. The Great Claw was just a common lobster. Our entire religion- our lives, all based on some kind of joke from an old dead world.

Writing Prompt [WP] As counter-productive as it may seem, older healing potions are actually more effective. Aging in a cool dry place like a dungeon can often do wonders for a potion.

Writing Prompt [WP] I never knew when they'd show up; never knew where they'd appear, or necessarily why. I could never stop them or convince them to bugger off either, though I'd come to anticipate their spontaneous interruptions to my otherwise repetitious life.

I have been writing stories about a world like this for years. It’s a dark sandbox full of shadows. I’m quite curious to see what other writers pull from it.
