Music March 30

Prompts for this month will be song based. I am going to suggest a song each day, but my song choices definitely lean towards being good prompts for horror, so if you want something lighter, pick a song that means more to you. I’ll post a quote that you can take, or you can listen to the song as a whole. I’ve selected songs from two bands who are bringing a horror atmosphere into their music. As with the tarot cards, use them to generate ideas or short pieces of writing, or even scenes that might form part of a larger work.

Song 30 is Ultraviolet by Spiritbox.

“I can see it shining through the trees
A reflection of the crimson key”

Some ideas inspired by this song:

• A chosen one failed to save the world and is haunted by that loss as they try to survive.

• A character fights to avert an apocalypse. Secretly they helped bring it about but their companions don’t know this.
