I just want to thank you for posting these prompts. It's fun to try to turn them into 300 character stories. My tales usually come about 350 or so, then comes the fun part trying to pare them down to get a story that still makes sense. It really makes my day. Thank you

Elsa O'Leary was pissed. She knew the farmer was adding something to their feed and she was done with it, as were the other cows.
Tonight they would escape and go live with the bison.
After the cows left the barn, she toppled the propane heater and hoofed it. #hbp60

I'm out here in the woods, spent four hours digging a hole in the frozen ground, go to my car and see the trunk wide open and a set of bloody footprints in the snow leading back to the road.
Instead of fixing a 'problem', I may have just dug my own f*ckin grave. #hbp59

@halfbakedprompts.bsky.social Fred placed the Yule candle in the kitchen window, poured a glass of wine, sat and dreamt of Ethel.
They met at a Christmas party 65 years ago and were together until last week, when she passed. He could smell smoke, but she called him to dance. He took her hand. #hbp58

I clear my path so it looks like an animal trail, yet no animals dare tread here.
Some adventurous hunter will eventually come my way. They feel invincible until they are in my grasp. They struggle so hard to be free, but none escape my embrace.
I hear one now #hbp57

Dad left Mom in February, then Aunt Peg died in May and Mom fell into a deep depression.
But she's here with us for the holidays, having a great time.
We were just about to enjoy Christmas dinner when the front door opened and in walked Dad. Mom started sobbing #hbp56

@halfbakedprompts.bsky.social The revolution was won, the tyrants fled. After 20 years, I was free.
I walked barefoot in the luxuriant grass and hugged the old tree which taunted me nightly in my cell,whispering cruelly how it was free, and I was not. "I'm returning with an axe" I said #hbp53 #hbp54

"It's called Snakes on a Train" said the nervous man, "a guy from Australia has a trunk on a train full of venomous #taipan snakes"
"Terrible idea," said the producer. "NEXT!"
"Ok, so maybe he's on a bus in a tunnel?"
"SECURITY!"
"Ok, how about Snakes on a Plane?"
"Hmmm..."

The President stood in front of the presidential mansion. Stone pillars framed the scene.
"Today I am declaring Martial law, there are dark forces in this country, and I alone will restore greatness."
Ten years later the columns were all that remained standing. #hbp44

Listen folks, the next time you dream Keith Richards is floating outside your bedroom window asking to be invited in, DO NOT LET HIM IN!

Imagine a world where authorities tracked down corporation heads whose actions kill millions with the same fervor they tracked down one person who killed a corporate CEO.

The gypsies hut was quite dark, the smell incense clung to the air, masking a scent of decay. He began to feel woozy.
The old man sidled up behind and quickly sank his fangs in, drinking deep.
Five minutes later Joseph left happy, knowing Mary would be his bride. #hbp

The #creeper vines have taken over my home, blocking the sunsets I used to love.
The last family to live here was nice, and began renovations
That stopped when they found my poor daughters tomb.
They removed her bones, boarded the home, and now I am alone again. #vss365

For the past ten years, we've done the Elf on a Shelf.
But the kids are older so we thought it'd be fun to give the elf a sock, like Dobby.
Our elf came alive. It bit my hand, broke our window, and jumped out, hurling expletives as it went.
Where's the #devotion?

Inspector James fell into her home, exhausted.
The victim was an old adversary, held her hostage when she was a rookie, beat her senseless and spent 15 years in prison.
Now he was dead, and no suspects.
She crawled in bed, kissed her husband and whispered"thanks".

Todd was being a prick, as usual. My $50,000 coin collection lay before us.
"5 grand, take it or leave it," he said.
I needed to make this flight, and he knew it. He knew why, too, hence the small offer.
"Fine!" I said angrily.
When I return, I will ruin his life, even if he is my twin brother. #hbp

I enjoy the serenity of old graveyards, but have no interest in spending eternity in one.
I looked at sea burial, but there are just too many restrictions.
Enter #mycelium coffins, a mushroom box that returns you to the Earth in two years. It's a lovely way to continue the circle of life. #vss365

Waiting at a traffic light, I look over at a half-dozen pigeons frolicking in a puddle. This is the first #rain in over a month, and the birds seem jubilant, splashing and bathing.
Later I see a flock of pi geons flying complicated patterns and wonder if it is some form of bird rain dance. #vss365

Every time I switch to a new website I am followed by #trolls.
I just want to live a nice life.
But then they find me.
They say I killed their brother, and made up lies about him.
I did kill him. He wanted to eat my siblings, so I drowned him.
Don't mess with the brothers Gruff!

I'm watching a live Sotheby's auction where a banana duct-taped to a white wall just sold for 5.2 million dollars.
There is no hope for humanity, is there?
