Fantastic Folklore

Construct a story in which your character visits a foreign city and becomes entrapped in the local folklore.

Perhaps an old tale the locals believe turns out to be not-so fictitious, or aspects of folklore can become part of your character’s lived experience. This writing prompt allows you to explore the richness of diverse cultures, the power of belief, and the intertwining of reality and mythology. You could incorporate themes of suspense, mystery, and cultural exploration.
