Nominee no. 1:
There was a volatile presence in the room, the séance was not going as planned. Even behind my closed eyes, I could sense the others leaving the table. It rocked in protest. I was frozen, unable to move until I felt the bony hand grip mine. #horrorprompt 666#vsshorror pic.twitter.com/Xqlhqh7gQI

Wake from the nightmare
— Musings of Professor Fox 🦊 (@darkxfer) March 16, 2022
Bizarre and blurred
Reality split the verse
Chaos soon spurred
He hung from the hook
Soon to resolve
Chemicals volatile
Meant to dissolve
Slowly immersed
His screams soon silent
Memory of one
Whose end so violent#horrorprompt #vsshorror
Nominee no. 3:
Red #mud
— Edward V. Fuller (@fuller_edward) March 16, 2022
Bloody toes
I weed rows
with a hoe
I’m #cursed
to work this land
Dab brow
with blistered hands
I sow
I grow
I reap
I can’t eat the harvest though

Vehemently volatile, Victoria spouted such venomous verbage that vultures and various vermin vied for the corpses of her victims whose souls had vacated into the vacuum of the void.
Nominee no. 5:
This lost soul is volatile, violent. A psychopath whose eyes scream evil. Rage unleashed, she wields a knife. I have until midnight for her to accept that she's dead and to move on. Whirlwind of bitter resentment. It's going to be a long night.#horrorprompt #vsshorror #vss

The red vision faded
— Amanda 🖤☠️🖤 (@AmandaJK_) March 17, 2022
He heard pained moans around him
His breathing returned to normal
The #volatile beast started to retreat
He wiped the blood from his chin
Turning, he decided to keep those still alive
A constant supply would calm the savage for a while#horrorprompt no. 666

“I’m in a volatile mood.”
“Chemically induced?” He checked the bottle on the table.
“I mean it.” She turned the knife tip down, twisted into the cutting board. “It wasn’t easy dealing with Fred.”
“Ed.”
“It’s your job.”
“Sorry. What’s cooking?”
“Ed.”

You were a #volatile knight
— Rixari (@PoetrybyRixari) March 17, 2022
hiding behind pristine armor,
shining, despite the #mud
covering everyone else
I considered giving you
what you came to my lair for
But, since I am a clever dragon,
I decided to help you shine
brighter than a thousand suns…#horrorprompt #vss365
Nominee no. 9:
The universe is violent. Swirling galaxies crash, spewing volatile clouds that flare and condense. The chaos sprawls in front of us.
— Ted Vician (@StinkenderKase) March 17, 2022
But we build machines to keep looking deeper. Perhaps we will finally see the monsters who stir it.#horrorprompt 666 volatile #vsshorror

— John Tannhauser was getting better, but then 🇺🇦 (@JohnTannhauser) March 17, 2022
Like rolling #mud, is what came to my paralysed mind.
I watched the #volatile earth tear open beneath a man running from a swaying building. He didn't even have time to scream.
Then, just as quickly, it snapped shut.
I will never forget that moment. pic.twitter.com/aWwmWtFyep

The castle silent
— Amanda 🖤☠️🖤 (@AmandaJK_) March 17, 2022
Bodies left drained & broken
Many refused to accept the truth
Whispers of his #volatile eruptions
They feared, yes but worshipped his power
No one knew his blood thirsty secrets
Those that did, never survived the night#horrorprompt#vsshorror #horrorprompt666
Nominee no. 12:
Bloodbath freak show
— Robert Folkard (@rfolkard1) March 17, 2022
Hell of a time to die
The chainsaw loves you
Look at those limbs
All over this place
He can really be
A volatile bastard
Screams deafening
Mother's head rolling
You have nice flesh
You'll be alright
This is your grave#horrorprompt
Nominee no. 13:
She sighs. Maybe she is volatile, but their lack of a volatile sense of self helps nothing. Nodding along to everything their ego says until it merges with the trumped up giant of kinfolk.
— Fennel (@FennelSteuert) March 17, 2022
'This is why we fight,' says her ego.
'No,' she says. 'It's a cursed bonus.'#horrorprompt
Nominee no. 14:
I was always used to #volatile reactions when the slightest of things went wrong, but was shocked the moment that thick, bristly fur began to sprout from their back and sharp fangs poked out from their mouth.
— SadoAlice (@SadoAlice) March 16, 2022
"Man, all they did was forget your fries!"#horrorprompt #vsshorror
Nominee no. 15:
"The weather had been strangely volatile all that August, and this was the third thunderstorm in a week, but the first where drops of blood spattered upon the ground like rain and vast, wet tentacles unrolled from within the boiling black clouds."#horrorprompt 666#vsshorror

Nominee no. 16:
Library of earth awaited sanguine pleasures buried between infinite mountains of books. Words spoken fired embers around the room.Surrounded by living tomes the pages peaked drawing you in. #volatile chapters devoured your lifeforce you’re lost in its alluring spine #horrorprompt
