During her interview with the Write the Book podcast, Nancy Hayes Kilgore suggests a prompt inspired by a scene in her novel Bitter Magic, in which a character meets the actual Devil. Your prompt is to write a character based on a famous non-human entity: a leprechaun, a fairy, a centaur, a cherub, a poltergeist, a ghost. Which aspects of this character do you feel is accurate and how might you change the depiction. If you use this character in a story, will you identify it or let the readers guess?
