Supernatural Writing Prompts

1000 years ago, a great king had his soul infused with the crown so he may rule eternity, taking possession of anyone who wears it. But with each new 'successor,' the king took his extra lives increasingly for granted, until one day.....

"I don't get it," says the demon, "This person's lived a perfectly good and virtuous life. Why are you sending them to hell?" The angel nervously rubs the back of their head. "Honestly? We're pretty sure they'd be happier in hell than heaven."

I had thought the monster was looking for me; seeking out my hiding place as it scurried around the house. When it found me in the closet, I yelped in fear, death imminent. Instead, it slithered in beside me, pulled the coats it's hairy body and hissed in a low whisper. "Shhh! It'll hear you!"

You die and discover hell exists. Worse yet, you find out that the only reason you’re here is because when you were 2 and a half years old, you accidentally made a deal with the devil.

You got abducted by cultists as you were heading to a restaurant for your date. After two days, the cultists have started a ritual, attempting to offer your soul up to a demon for power. But as the demon appears, it turns out the demon they try to offer you up to is your girlfriend/ex.

You have Vampiric Blood running through your veins. However, that blood comes from quite a few generations back, so all it really means is that you like eating meat, can't swim, get mildly annoyed by religious architecture, and get sunburned really easily.

You fell in love with a vampire. You married her on the condition that she would never bite to convert you. Life is good. You get to keep both your love and your humanity. However, you forgot to account for your teething baby daughter biting you.

You are an immortal, having to deal with the rather troublesome rumour that your blood grants immortal life. However, what those after your blood don't know is that since you can't die, you are an excellent host to several deadly bacteria and viruses-all existing peacefully in your blood.

Your evil mother was killed by a demonic entity that took her form. It planned to torture you by revealing itself when you grew up, and feast on your terror and fear. When the day came, however, you felt no fear or despair. Instead, you thanked the demon for being the best mother ever.

You hear a soft squeaking coming from a nearby tree stump. When you lean down to take a peek, you find a bat with a torn wing. You take it home, since there are no vets for miles around. Little do you know that it is a vampire bat who is struggling to turn into his human form.

You are the Black Knight, legendary for transferring your soul into your armor to become able to defeat a dragon long ago. Your body has long since withered away within your steel casing, but you continue to live a relatively normal life in an abandoned castle until a new threat arises.

"Your total will be...wait this can't be right." The cashier turned around and called the manager over. The manager then quickly shooed the employee away as they took over at the register. "I'm sorry for the delay, we haven't had one of your kind in awhile, your total comes to 3 souls."

An ancient vampire has Turned you. As you are coming to terms with your new reality, they explain that they did it because want their crypt to have internet access and wifi.

Turns out that Hell has no fire, torture, or frozen wastelands to endure. The only actual punishment is having to spend an eternity with the other assorted jerks that ended up there as well.

You rush into a church to stop the love of your life from marrying the wrong person. Not paying attention, you shout "I OBJECT" only to realize it's a funeral. The deceased immediatelly rises in perfect health. All eyes turn to you.

Your partner is upset because you won't share what your child's first sentence was. How do tell them that it was "This form is so limiting"?

You are the first ever completely ethical vampire: you post the terms and conditions of trespassing, make it clear in the memo that said people are subject to be fed on... You can safely say that humanity's stupidity has kept you alive for thousands of years.

Heaven and Hell are actually both afterlife luxury locations who compete for your membership when you die. The only reason we view hell as evil is good marketing.

You are a werehuman. But you are not a wolf that turn into a human on full moon. You are a regular human who, on a full moon, turns into a way stronger, very angry and hyper-aggressive version of yourself. It is even harder to explain than being a werewolf.

"This person sold their soul to you fair and square," said the incredulous angel to the demon. "Why are you petitioning for them to enter heaven?" "Because after everything they did with what I gave them, they deserve to."

During the war between angels and demons, humans are the collateral. They are continuously used by the two forces for their advantage until humanity decides to just kill both.

The human brain has evolved to see the world as it expects to see it, not as it really is. Supernatural creatures have hidden in humanity's blindspots for millennia. You have just woken up from a first-of-its-kind brain surgery and can see what's really in your hospital room.

Jesus Christ is born once every century. Each time he takes on a new body and a new name. If he dies at least once not by the hand of man, all of humanity will ascend to heaven. This has not happened yet.

The woman wore a trenchcoat and surgical mask, her hands in her pockets. "Am I pretty?" "Yeah, I suppose," you replied. She removed the mask to reveal her slit mouth. "Do you still think-" "Holy hell! Lady, we need to get you to a doctor ASAP!"

"You're doing gods work," the angel said while handing you a cease & desist letter, "we demand that you stop."

You run a café on the edge of life and death. Souls who have been departed from their bodies temporarily, such as in comas or near-death experiences, can relax in your quaint cafe for as long as they need before they can either return to their bodies or begin their journey to the afterlife.

You were happy with getting an A+ on your "vampire myths" essay, with a comment about how you did excellent research, but you thought that was the end of it. A few days later, though, you open your door to find a vampire and a vampire hunter on your porch.

"You're not allowed to die without my permission!" The Captain had barked the night before the battle. We laughed then. 100 years later, it's not as funny.

Ever since you were cursed with the inability to lie, you've struggled to navigate a world built on deception. But one day, you discover that your 'curse' grants you an incredible power: the ability to verify any fact, no matter how hidden or unknown.

Not only did your best friend find out you're a vampire, but he/she wants you to turn them. You try your best to explain the less obvious downsides to this curse.
