In the dim light of the abandoned hospital, she clenched the all-seeing eye in her palm, its gaze piercing through the secrets of the derelict walls. Every heartbeat thumped with the dread of what it might reveal next, as shadows danced just beyond the edge of vision.


Sometimes we just want to be brief with our stories. “Oracle” is an experimental writing prompt.

This two-sentence story “Oracle” creates a sense of tension and foreboding. The abandoned hospital, a classic setting for horror and mystery, immediately evokes a feeling of unease. The mention of the “all-seeing eye” adds an element of the supernatural, hinting at hidden truths and unseen forces at play.
