One day I'm going to get in the swing of regularly checking Bluesky. I feel like I have the opposite problem of most people with social media and just space out and forget it exists a lot of the time.

Oh look, a bunch of lovely stories! People should go poke these for sure!

It's gift giving season, which is a perfect excuse to do tiny stories! Leave me a prompt of some kind, get a microfiction in return. If you want some kind of a prompt, give me something around what's waiting in the darkness or what the light can reveal.
