The Grim Almanac

Author a story about an old farmer’s almanac that brings the written predictions to life, with a sinister twist.

An antiquarian bookseller comes across an 18th century farmer’s almanac that seems quite normal, until each weather prediction comes true with deadly accuracy, including long-forgotten disasters. The seemingly innocent weather predictions turn dangerous when manipulated by the reader. This prompt explores the terror of fate and questions whether there’s such a thing as too much prediction power.
