Writing Prompt #54

Here is this week's speculative fiction prompt. I'm labeling it as horror this week, but take it whatever direction you choose. Have fun with it!

A doll comes to life.

  1. Uh, I can't see it in any other genre either...

    Although, it'd be a cool challenge to twist it otherwise, eh? :)

  2. Horror is certainly where I would go with it, but I could see it as humor, sci-fi, even fantasy, epic or modern. Depends on what you do with it! :-)

  3. Yep, could easily go fantasy. Horror is a good way to go, but seems to be too many horrorifying dolls as it is.

  4. interesting - I am already writing a short story on dolls for next collection - not coming to life as such - this could be a nice companion for it - 'tis mulling over in my mind already -thanks

  5. Thanks for the comments!

    David--Yes, too many horrifying dolls out there already, but done right, it can still make a good story. Heck, even cliched tales can still send shivers down some readers spines--dolls seem to have that draw to them.

    Alberta--I hope this inspires something excellent!
