It was almost amusing. Glyn stepped through the door and found himself in the middle of the World Walkers’ Council building. Breathing deeply he looked around, hoping that no one had noticed him appear from nowhere, because no one apart from a demon would be able to see the door. When he was certain he was safe he turned to walk back through it. There were people he needed to warn, so the message could be passed on to as many demons as possible. It wasn’t until he’d walked through the space the door had been that he realised it wasn’t there any longer.

A part of him was terrified. Demons avoided the Council, so standing in the middle of the building they worked and lived in was… Glyn never thought he’d see it, unless he was arrested, and he wasn’t planning on ever getting arrested. That was when the other part of him took over. Curiosity had always been one of his weaknesses, so he began walking through the building he’d found himself in, even though he knew it probably wasn’t safe. All it took was one person to realise he shouldn’t be there.

There had been a time when Glyn had thought about joining the walkers. He knew it was the best way to hide what he was, but at the same time he knew that there had been demons before who’d tried and it hadn’t gone well. Knowing he might end up in one of the Council’s prisons was enough to convince him that he was better off being careful, instead of trying to pretend he was something he wasn’t, but being careful sometimes wasn’t enough when it came to the natural doors.

Glyn did his best to look like he was meant to be there. Usually that was enough to convince someone you were meant to be there. Hopefully the fake tattoos he was wearing would help. A couple of the rooms he passed were rooms he wanted to explore, but he knew that was too dangerous, and then he passed the library. Stories were told of the books that could be found within the Council’s libraries. He glanced into the room. No one was in there, so he made a decision he knew would change his life. He stepped into the library, his mind focused entirely on the books he might find and hoped he’d be able to smuggle out of the building.

The library was larger on the inside than it had looked from the hallway. Glyn stopped, looked around for less than a second because he knew someone could walk in at any moment, and then started walking towards one of the bookcases. All he could do was keep looking like he was a walker, he was meant to be in the library, grab a book and get out as quickly as possible. Once he’d done that he had to find the entrance, which was probably not going to be an easy thing to do. Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair, and wondered why he’d been unlucky enough to find a one way door that took him to the Council.

From now until midnight on Monday I’m open for prompts. This month I’m changing things a little and having a theme for the session, which is a minute, a year, a lifetime. As always I’m open to random number prompts and if you’re having trouble with the theme then give me any prompt that comes to mind.

For every prompt I receive I’ll write and post 500 words. If you signal boost this prompt call on any platform (LJ, DW, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) then I’ll double the word count for one prompt per platform (eg. leave me four prompts and boost on four platforms to get 1,000 words for every prompt you’ve left; leave me six prompts and boost on three platforms to get three stories of 1,000 words and three stories of 500 words – your choice which prompts get the bonus words).

If 5 people prompt me during this session I’ll write one bonus story of 1,000 words (a yule story for one of my collections). For every prompter following the fifth I’ll add another 500 words to the story.

More words can be purchased using either money or credits: £1.50 for 500 posted words or 3 credits for 1000 words sent as a PDF, up to a limit of 6,000 words (£18.00 or 18 credits) per prompt.

This month I’m aiming to help with the rent, so I’m looking to get between £140 and £380.

If I get £20 I will post one new piece of bonus material, which will be posted as soon as it is written, chosen by the donor whose donation gets me to this point.
If I get £40 I will write a story of at least 1000 words, which will be posted as soon as it is written, chosen again by the donor whose donation gets me to this point.
If I get £60 I will make all the stories written to prompts into an ebook, which will be emailed to everyone who has donated.
If I get £80 I will write one new piece of bonus material that will only be available in the ebook.
If I get £100 I will write one story of at least 1000 words that will only be available in the ebook.
For every £25 after the £100 I will add another bonus story or new piece of bonus material to the ebook.

If I reach £140 I’ll be ecstatic and I’ll post 20,000 words in January.

If I get £200 I will make a second ebook with at least 10 new stories in, of at least 1000 words, set in a collection of the donors choice, and 2 pieces of bonus material, which will be emailed to all the donors.
If I get £250 I will add at least three new stories which will only be available in the ebook and one piece of bonus material.

If I reach £380 I think I’ll pass out and I’ll triple the word count for January.
