SCREAMS!!!

Greetings my fellow gorehounds, ghost chasers, witches and warlocks!

Time is of the essence on this fine wintry morn. There are so many things I'd like to say about the dire circumstances surrounding our Ukrainian comrades but I fear I can not do them justice in my current sleep depriven state. (Is depriven even a word?)

Please keep them in your thoughts. My heart goes out to all those brave souls fighting to save their homeland... Reality is far scarier than any story one might conjure up.

And speaking of stories, you know the drill. You have an additional four hours from the usual noon deadline to post your newest creations, perhaps even more if I hit the snooze tooth on my screaming skull-clock.

Here is the latest edition of prompts! You have a choice between a song, a picture and a word. Usual rules apply, 3000 words or less and one week to polish your sinister tales.

Word: Maggots

Song: Up Jumped The Devil - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Best of luck and good night!
