Firelight Ghost Stories

Write a creepy ghost story that takes place around a beach bonfire.

As the beach bonfire dwindles, the atmosphere naturally lends itself to thrilling narratives. In this prompt, recount or invent a particular chilling tale that unfolds in the firelight. Explore how the darkness, isolation, and the lull of waves leading up to the story’s climax work in harmony to make the experience more unnerving. This prompt allows writers to play with suspense, fear, and show how environment factors into plot development and heightens emotions.
