Book of Choices

You can find Wolf Grove Media's additional anthology titles HERE 

Prompt: Create a story centered on a mysterious and sinister book that, upon contact with blood, reveals choices to the reader. Each choice is unpleasant and laden with consequences. These choices should explore the depth of human decision-making in a supernatural context. We encourage creativity in exploring the theme. How does the book come into your character's life? What choices are they forced to make? How do these choices reflect their deepest fears and/or desires? For inspirations, feel free to listen to Crossroads Cantina episodes "The Book", "Finding Nemo" and "One light Town" https://bluemarblestorytellers.com/crossroads-cantina/ or read the story that inspired this Anthology here: The Book of Choices https://a.co/d/e7bXwJB
