Revealing the Unknown

Write about a seemingly ordinary object that progressively reveals fearful aspects.

Unnerving uncertainty often stems from places we least expect. Write about an ordinary object, detailing its harmless facade, that eventually starts showing unusual, uncanny and even horrifying characteristics. Reflect on the reactions of those who encounter this object and the changes it brings about in its surrounding environment. This prompt encourages you to explore the theme of masked dread and the fear of the unknown.
