Get inspired with this week’s Fantasy Art Wednesday, where fun fantasy artwork is combined with a writing prompt to get your creative juices flowing!

Get your typing fingers warmed up, because today’s image gives so many story possibilities. Where is this place? It almost has a catacomb feel, like it has been buried underground. Silent. Dark. We seem to be in a large chamber, but I can imagine that there are a maze of black tunnels twisting off of it. Light breaks through from above this bent tree, the earth beneath it overgrown with tall grass and weeds, twists of vine, and even a spider web. Its roots are breaking through its stone confinement, tearing up the floor.

Wherever this place is, no one has been here for a long time. Perhaps that skull belonged to the last visitor who braved its tunnels. What is in the mysterious chalice next to it? Could be poison. Could be something else. I’m not all that eager to sip from it, are you? Not without knowing more. The title itself intrigues me, “The Last Light.” Have we entered a completely darkened world, and this is the last light anywhere? Captured, preserved, and maybe even protected in this chamber from those who would snuff it out?

It’s one possibility–surely there are more. Have fun exploring them, and feel free to share your ideas in the comments. I’m always happy to feature any stories that are inspired by my Fantasy Art Wednesday posts, so don’t be shy!
