For this week, the prompt for flash fiction submitted to #FairyTaleFlash is “weird, funny, or scary campfire tales.” I decided to make the story not just be a story that’s told at a campfire, but a story that’s actually about a campfire.

The shadows crowded around the campfire as the young campers told their ghost stories and urban legends. The shadows were anxious to hear the words that would shape their forms. They wouldn’t know what sort of monsters they could be until the campers told them.
