The Nursery Rhymes

Conceive a narrative where innocent nursery rhymes turn into foretelling omens.

Childhood innocence collides with unexpected terror in this prompt. Use nursery rhymes as metaphors for coming danger and explore how familiar things can become scary when linked to uncanny events. Writers may contemplate: Who is responsible for the malevolent rhymes? Can the deadly prophesies be broken? Themes of fear of the inevitable, loss of innocence, and decoding of cryptic messages could be particularly potent.
