Room of Memories

Write about a room that contains tangible manifestations of a person’s weaknesses and failures.

Metaphorical horror can be compelling and psychologically chilling. Delve into the person’s fears and failures that have turned into ghastly tangible items in the room. Use vivid descriptions of the tangible terrors, how the person interacts with them, whether they choose to confront or avoid them and the psychological impact. With this prompt, writers can explore symbolic horror, the use of potent imagery in representing emotional turmoil and the use of space as a symbol of inner self.
