Lima Syndrome
Always a twist when it comes to these types of stories, where we expect Stockholm but get something a little more-- maybe?-- wholesome? The only guideline, let's keep romantic love out of it, show some rep for the other types of love out there too however brief or however intimate(lotta times people end up released when Lima Syndrome takes effect).

Kelpie POV & nickname
Come up with a hilariously insulting nickname for a kelpie. Use this as the title of your piece. It can be anything as long as it's not profane or sexual. If getting inspired by fish, remember that kelpies live in freshwater lakes.
Then, write a POV from this kelpie about how they feel having to drown people for dinner. Winner decided by me, and gets bragging rights!
Interview with a Vampire
You're a young journalist and you sit down with a person proclaiming to be a vampire.

Hit it off with a max 500 words of how this all comes to a close.
