Promptorium Scroll No. 21

You’re a haunted suit of armor that’s been on display for 400 years. Today, someone winks at you—and you move.

How to Use This Prompt (Without Summoning an Accidental Demon):

1. Read the prompt. Let it whisper sweet nonsense into your imagination.

2. Don’t overthink. Seriously. No one’s grading you (unless you’ve angered a goblin professor).

3. Set a timer. Try 10–20 minutes. More if the muse is feeling spicy.

4. Write like a maniac. Spelling? Grammar? Consistency? Pfft. You can edit later. This is about chaos-fueled creativity.

5. Twist it. Flip genres. Change POV. Make the prompt cry for mercy if you want.

6. Reuse it. Today it’s a flash fiction. Tomorrow it’s a D&D side quest. Next week? A novella. Who knows?

7. Have fun. If you’re not cackling, gasping, or yelling “plot twist!” at least once... try adding caffeine.

8. Be kind to your brain. It’s doing weird, wonderful things. Give it snacks.
