I really like what you have written. This probably won't be your thing, but these are the kind of writing prompts we use in our creative writing pieces at Uni.

* Soundscapes - i.e. clattering, squeaking, crunching, trickling wind banging doors and windows. Rustling of animals foraging through rubbish bags. Contrast this with the silence.

Maybe a broken child's toy that plays a fractured melody <--- symbolic of a time where things were ok.

* Smells - apart from body decay i.e. grit, diesel, candle wax, blood, tar, rust, mushroom smell of damp, rotting food etc.

* Sense of Place

Places of Worship - Churches/Temples/Sanctuaries/Stone Circles/Wells

Municipal places - schools/offices/hospitals, esp.lunatic asylums

Derelict shopping precincts/casinos/cinemas/fairgrounds etc.

* Props

keys/boxes/tarot/knives/talismans/candles

Might be an idea you look at the LJ site 'Abandoned Places' to help you. There is a guy on there who does really lovely film work

Hope this maybe some help :-)
