The Fisherman
Every writer needs a little inspiration once in a while. For today’s prompt, write about a fisherman.
This time of year really makes me think of one of my favorite horror novels, The Fisherman by John Langan. There's something atmospheric and tense about the nights getting longer and colder, something about that makes me look for a flash of eyes in the darkness outside my windows.
Whether you want to write something scary or not, today's prompt is to write about a fisherman.
