                                                         19. Slow Burn

                                                         20. Desperate Hours

                                                         21. Out of Africa

                                                         22. The Sentry

                                                         23. Legend of a Bad Man

                                                         24. Under Northern Stars

                                                         25. First Claim

Here is an example of micro fiction using some of the titles:

He was still the Jester though it had been many years since he had juggled or made anyone laugh for that matter. He had been alone since the old king had cursed him and sent him out of Africa. Despite all the black horizons that he had faced he still had joy in his heart. He made his camp now under northern stars and was leaving behind him a legend of a bad man. 

Naming the old king and the addition of  another sentence and it could be the beginning of something larger:

He was still the Jester though it had been many years since he had juggled or made anyone laugh for that matter. He had been alone since the old king Bragg had cursed him and sent him out of Africa. Despite all the black horizons that he had faced he still had joy in his heart. He made his camp now under northern stars and was leaving behind him a legend of a bad man. He hoped she would soon take up the offer of a gun for Bragg’s woman and join him.

I had fun writing that little bit and hope you have fun playing around with the prompts. Feel free to post your creation in the comments!
