Thank you all for an incredible year of writing (and previous years at @vssghosttales.bsky.social and #vssHauntedHouse).

We're having a year off, but already have a theme for 2026. In the meantime, stay safe out there everyone.

Much love,

The (G)Hosts of #vssGhostShip

There's a glint of something over there! It's six silver buttons half-submerged in the mud...

Oh, and there's only six prompts left including this one!

[1/2] Men were not meant to look upon the creatures of the deep. When the Blind Captain had met the gaze of a kraken's #evil-eye, it stole his sight.
But there were worse curses in the sea. Now, as his men #raised their newest catch, he smiled a grim smile.

You walked the road for eons, it felt like, then a person joined you - one who almost glowed & was always looking to the passing vehicles, at their lights, until 1 day they disappeared. You saw glimpses of them on top of cars. At a rest stop once they wished you safe travels.

I run. I always run,
Into the dark forest,
because I’m a #safe will-o-the-wisp there.
Are you brave enough
to follow me into my dark?

An inhuman howl cuts through the mist - they're still chasing us! It feels like we might never be #safe again... do we abandon the hope for treasure and just get out of here?

Please tag #vssGhostShip.

Our forty-sixth #prompt is #safe. (#46) 🖤🏴‍☠️👻

There's definitely unrest in the crew and something's wrong. Old Man McKinnon's making the sign to ward off the #evil_eye. Somehow, I don't think that'll help...

The men are whispering, they've had enough of undead mariners! Sounds like there might be a #mutiny if we don't find the gold soon...
