031: List of DOOM! (From writerverse)
The rules for this challenge according to the post:
There are 4 different lists each with 25 prompts. You may choose one to start. Your word count goal is 10k words. Now wait, don't freak out yet. This phase's Doom is a little different than the one's in the past. This year, YOU get to choose how much to write for each prompt. You can write as little as or as much as you want as long as it all adds up to 10,000 words by the end (and, yes, partial points are allowed).
There is a minimum word count of 100 words per story.
You do not have to use all the prompts.
You can repeat prompts if you like.
You can combine prompts as long as there is at least 100 words per prompt in the story (so if you combined all 25 prompts the story would have to be at least 2500 words long).
If you use all the prompts in your list and still don't have 10k words you may take another list to work from.
