Write a story about a character slowly realizing that something eerie is happening before the horror is fully revealed.
This prompt captures the suspense build-up that is so essential in horror stories. Start by allowing your character to first notice small unsettling things; a strange noise, a misplaced object, a feeling of being watched. Gradually escalate their experiences while focusing deeply in their reactions, fears and internal turmoil. This exercise will certainly highlight the importance of pacing and atmosphere.
