Reena’s Xploration Challenge #405

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Welcome to another week as we move closer to winter and the end of 2025!

SPECIAL MENTION

If the following lines pique your interest, click here.

a book not yet birthed, wombed pages

making impressions of would-be flowers

pressed with care by imagination’s muse

‘tween the leaves of a tome not yet written

its expectant pages,

not found.

SHOUT-OUTS

I choose this week to honour the Queens of Collaboration.

Melissa Lemay

Jules Paige

The world needs so much positive collaboration, but it all seems to be going the wrong way. May their drops in the ocean lead to larger currents!

PROMPT #405

While the world celebrates the Horror genre, I’ve chosen a few antonyms of Horror to serve as a theme for this week.

  1. fearlessness
  2. fortitude
  3. calmness
  4. fortitude
  5. gallantry
  6. intrepidity

For an added challenge, you may choose to combine the horror theme with its antonyms. Maybe a monster shows a positive trait, or vice versa. It is entirely your choice and not compulsory.

There is no restriction on the length or format of the piece. There is no last date unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

We will not include any posts that are found to be offensive, vulgar or hurt ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.

Create a post on your blog and copy-paste the link in the Comments. If you use a pingback, check to see if it has worked. I have come across cases where the pingback did not work, and I missed including the piece in the Weekly Wrap.
