An Empty House
Every writer needs a little inspiration once in a while. For today’s prompt, set your story inside an empty house.
Ever since I moved into a new place last summer, I can't stop thinking about how weird it was to see my old house totally emptied.
This week, set your story in an empty house. Has it been abandoned? Is it being renovated? Does your character supposed to be there, or are they sneaking around? The choice is yours!
