Let's see... Snow and general cold imagery is a must. I'd lean into spirits most likely, as ghosts are the most Christmas-sy horror. And... Fire. Fire is also key - Smell, feel, scent, etc.

With great power comes great responsibility

The walls shimmer reflections of your life. The faces whisper judgement, accusation.

Why. Why were you like this?

Tears freeze on your cheeks. The glacier closes in.

Regret is often paired with redemption. What horrors must your characters face to earn it? *Can* they earn it?

You walk within the glacier, but it feels like you’re sinking. The whispers shiver inside you. Faces are writ on the ice. Of those you’ve disappointed. Hurt.

The glacier is more curious.

How do you depict regret in a character? Does it manifest in environments, buildings, etc.?

You enter this gnarled gash. The ice emits a susurrus you find familiar – they speak of your life. Of your past. Forever slipping your grasp.

But the ice is also… curious.

Who are you, what do you write, and are regret & redemption important concepts in your horror stories?
