Welcome to the Dark Fantasy World!

weaves together the gloomy and twisted paths of horror with the ethereal heights of fantasy in just about any combination we can imagine. Join our prompt and hunt below.

Your beloved family dog vanished last year and you've been so heartbroken, you couldn't bear to adopt another in his place.

It's Halloween night. All kids are out in their fancy costumes, hunting for candies except you. You're home, sulking and missing your pet. You'd usually go to Trick-or-Treat with your dog, both dress-up in similar costume. But now, it's not the same.

It's a late October night when you hear a scratching at the door. Upon opening it, you discover your dog has returned. You're so delighted!

But as the days pass, strange things begin to occur and you can't help but feel like it has something to do with your dog.

What happened to your dog while he was away? What strange occurrences are going on that lead you to believe there's something dark and demonic going on with your dog? 

Write a dark fantasy Halloween tale about the return of a missing pet during Halloween. Tell us what dark magic is swirling around the pet after its returned.
