CHALLENGE: Summer/Winter Holidays, Round Six - The Cluedo Edition

Welcome to another year of Summer/Winter Holidays - hard to believe we're on year six!

Once again our group of wonderful authors and artists has come together to create works for a special set of 15 prompts, and now it's time to showcase them, one by one. July has come! \o/

This year, we're taking our inspiration from the game of Cluedo (or Clue) - think: "Colonel Mustard in the library with a pipe". *g* So our prompts give you a person, a place, an object, and getaway vehicle.

Every creator was assigned one of the prompts, and we'll be posting their works over the course of the month. In addition, for the whole month of July, all of these prompts are open for anyone in the comm to write or create to. As always, they're meant for inspiration - you don't have to include the entire prompt, just use the prompts to get your creativity flowing. (And you certainly don't have to write a murder mystery.)

Please let our authors and artists know you appreciate their work! And while you're at it, we hope you'll offer some of your own. Come and join our party!

The prompt groups are listed below, and they're all open for the taking. There's no particular order to them, and you can post your responses any day this month.
