Happy Hump Day to all the 9-5ers in the world. Time for another jolt to your creativity.

Prompt type: Music prompt

Song is “Building a Mystery” by Sarah McLachlan. Video courtesy of YouTube.

This particular song is near and dear to my heart because without it, I never would have come up with Hadrian Bridger, one of the main characters in the Lost Angel Chronicles.

Prompt type: Opening line

Prompt: “Why, All-Father, have you forsaken me? What was my affront to heaven that has doomed my people? All-Father, I willingly give myself to you, but I must know!”
