Any story is a journey.
So: a good prompt might be.....I move to a haunted house.
Here is where things tend to get conventional. There are horrors upon horrors; attic stairs begin creaking; candles seem to light themselves.
But the writer Kazuno Kohara is inspired, and she does something fun with the prompt.
I move to a haunted house. Fortunately, I myself am a witch.
And we're off to the races. The speaker is delighted to encounter various ghosts--"how wonderful!"--and she collects the ghosts in a hamper.
Then, the ghosts are laundered. And they become: tablecloths, drapes, and quilts.
Exhausted from her work, the speaker realizes she needs to sleep. So: the final ghost becomes a bedsheet. The End.
