Doppelgangers are like vampires; they steal your visage by drinking your blood. If you survive the bite, you gain their power, and inherit the faces of all their past victims.

Deep Water Prompt #3272

The nuclear energy plant is staffed almost entirely by ghosts. They work for free in exchange for access to radiation. They feed off it, memories returning, sometimes becoming almost corporeal.

My hair is full of magic, coveted, the stuff of legend. So, I strip it, matt it, tie it into knots, ruin it in any way I can. If I cut it, it will only grow back healthy.

Deep Water Prompt #3266

The courtroom is the judge. A medium sits on the bench and cedes control, eyes growing black, shadow growing long. The courtroom has seen everything. It is supposed to be incorruptible.
