Who lives here? Write the beginning of story that answers that question.

What story does this image inspire for you?

Does it make you think of armored knights and mythical creatures? Is it home to a tormented princess, a rich king or someone else? Is it haunted? Use your imagination to write the opening to a short story about the castle or the kingdom, and what kind of characters live there.
