Dame Peel came in by way of some parkour onto the balcony. She was sure Steed would have approved. Poor old Steed. Those were some good times. Her catsuit fit a little more loosely now, but she could still survey his shabby and ill-kept apartment with the sharp mind of a scientist. "Nothing really to be done here," she thought, "It will all just crumble to dust eventually."
@wolfe63 saidNow the phantom was malicious,
The phantom of fear,
promoted and expressed.
Becomes superstition,
at twilight...undressed.
though highly superstitious,
and would only give a fright,
each day at twilight.
Thank God he is fictitious.

@great-big-stees saidMaybe just start scattering seeds by jotting down a few elements you'd like to see in a story, or some ridiculous lines of dialogue to be included, maybe do a little bubble-mapping.

@Great-Big-Stees
Dear Stees, another idea would be to write some sentences based on "superstition," "phantom," and/or "twilight" individually (using the last-word-sentences idea) either just as background scraps to get you going and to prime the pump, or maybe even to be included in the final product. (Sometime in college years I glanced through a book that mentioned acrostics to be found in Shakespeare.)

@caesar-salad saidThanks for the advice I appreciate your help but I really am having trouble "getting into" it. It's been a couple of years since my last kick at the can and well... 🤔 🙄
