Asemic Snapshots for Trick or Treat
***** Asemic Snapshots:
Ghosts ~ Travellers in A Far Off Land
The three stanzas are #tankas, with accurate line number and the required 31 syllables, though the syllable count per line does not follow the traditional formula. The concluding #ProsePoem, turns the whole composition into a sort of reverse #Haibun.

Wessex Tales by Thomas Hardy
I've been dipping into Hardy's short stories. His use of irony and coincidence/Fate (Weird) together with the suggestion of the supernatural or referring to folklore can produce stories fit for Halloween.
#TheThreeStrangers and #TheWitheredArm are good examples.
