My story probably won't be in the running for the most original title award. I did hava lot of fun playing around with the banshee legend, though. Went a little darker than intended, but I'm pretty happy with the story. Excited to read what everyone else did with these prompts, too.

lol. I just wanted to write about a raccoon clenching a bottle of schnapps on the bathroom floor of a Virginia liquor store, wondering where it all went wrong. But I’d have to wait 25 yrs for it to be HF. And I guess that’s more NF?

You have to write the raccoon hitting rock bottom. Maybe tell the sad story of Davy Crocket's cap?

I was just looking for your story so I could read and comment on it, only to just realize we ended up in the same group. I must admit I'm bummed we are in the same group (since I know what an amazing writer you are) but am going we can both make it through to round 2 together! 🤞Thanks for your kind comments on my story and I hope you end up sharing yours as well.
