Sanity’s Shadows

Write a horror story in which the protagonist begins to question their sanity.

This prompt dives deep into psychological horror by forcing the character—and the reader—to constantly wonder what is reality and what is illusion. How does it feel to distrust your own perceptions? How will these doubts affect the character’s relationships, their decisions, their entire understanding of the world? Exploring this theme can help build tension and uncertainty, crucial elements in psychological horror.
