Reply to comment by iceariina in [WP] You're off to confront your tenant about their unit exceeding capacity. You've seen at least 3 people living there who aren't on the lease. When you finish dressing him down for the violation, all he says is, "You can see them too?" by iceariina

Always happy to twist writing prompts into unexpected directions. 😀 I'm glad you liked it! Just curious though, what were you originally anticipating with the responses to you writing prompt?

I was expecting like, ghost stories and mental health stuff, but not "beings from another realm" and I quite like it!

I'm happy to hear that! If you haven't checked it out, I actually wrote a 5000+ word follow up to this story to another writing prompt later that day. It's titled Code Inspection and is about the old god Dar'goth, brought back by Anthony, possessing the body of the landlord of this story as Dar'goth attempts to build a temple dedicated to his almighty wrath on top of the apartment building. However, the elder god has been gone so long that he's never had to deal with the ruthless inspectors from the city's code department.

If it wasn't for your inspiration that story for another prompt would have never existed, and it was a blast to write!

Glad to hear! I'm not much of a writer myself so it's fun to read what others come up with
