Spectral Confessional

Write a story from the perspective of a ghost confessing their story to a medium.

Ghosts are often thought of as trapped between life and subsequent peace due to unresolved issues. This prompt puts you in the shoes of such an apparition, letting you tell your past and why you’re lingering. Explore the nuances of your spectral existence, your emotions, and the unresolved matters that keep you anchored to the mortal world. This exercise encourages exploration of guilt, forgiveness, and imparting a sense of closure.
