A/N Okay so this chapter (and the next one) are all just short story starters based on various prompts. I felt like posting them so here ya go. Some of them leave off on unfinished sentences so if you wanna finish them in comments I'll update it with however you said. ;)

The two young children scampered across the cracked road away from their softball field to the weathered bus stop. Thunder crashed nearby, causing the younger, the girl, to careen into her brother. He picked her up frantically
Ba-dump.
The drums were loud, like huge bass hearts. The dancing strangers advanced on the siblings, who cringed into each other in fear.

A wail came from one of the dancer's mouths, singing a melody

And suddenly, the train shuddered into movement, leaving the station. Jason stood on the tracks, his mouth gaping wide. He had been left behind. Dorabella's eyes watched him longingly as she rolled farther and farther away from him, interrupted only by the squeaking sound of her cabin door being opened.
"Three... Two... One... Pull!"
The four young friends tugged on the heavy wooden portal. It budged slightly, and this encouraged them. After a painstaking five minutes of children panting, it was open just enough for them to slide through.
The clomping sound of small snow boots on wood sounded through the cold, abandoned house.

Her gaze went to his outstretched hand and traveled to his ridiculous outfit. He looked like a value-brand conquistadore.
"Even the music is just... I mean, what made you do this?"

The battle was a mess. Both sides had hundreds—no, thousands!—of casualties, bodies were strewn about. Yet the monsters kept coming, they had no end.
