    Prompt: In the lush embrace of nature-reclaimed ruins, where towering buildings are now mere skeletons draped in a verdant shroud, a family gathers as twilight breathes life into flickering flames. Amidst the broken echoes of a bygone civilization, the elders speak of ancient times, their voices weaving tales into the tapestry of the night. Children huddle close, their eyes wide with wonder as they listen to legends of the “doom scrollers”—mysterious talismans said to have once connected minds across vast distances but ultimately led humanity astray. The elders recount how these “doom scrollers,” with their enchanting glow, cast a spell of discord and distraction, drawing people into a web of “instant whispers” and “ghostly gatherings” until they forgot the world around them, bringing about their downfall. As the fire crackles, the cautionary tale of lost connections to the earth and each other becomes a shared memory, a history passed down through spoken word in this new Stone Age of man.

        As a suggestion, can we get a sticky post with all the past entries so we don’t have to add them here and then we can just link to that post? I have tried to copy/paste and I end up having to re-link them all manually and it’s a real pain. Plus the top post is getting pretty long now. Thoughts?

          Sure, I can imagine it being a drag having to reformat and repost all those links. Just leave them out and I’ll write a sticky post with all the previous entries.
          It should be fun to win, not an admin chore :)
