Stopped at a gas station outside Flagstaff and saw something that gave me a story idea
It was this old, beat-up payphone. Still had a phone book chained to it, pages all yellow and torn. But someone had drawn these little cartoon monsters in the margins with a blue pen. Like a whole battle scene. Got me thinking. What if the phone book was a secret bestiary? Each drawing was a real creature, and calling a number from its page summoned it. Been stuck on where to take that idea next. Anyone ever build a whole plot from a random object they saw?

That phone book bestiary idea is seriously cool.

Reminds me of this weird vending machine I saw once... it only sold single batteries and those little packets of oyster crackers. Always wondered what story was hiding there.
