How these names are built
A story title works like a hook: a concrete image plus a turn of phrase that implies a change of state. 'The Last Light of Autumn' promises an ending; 'What the River Kept' promises a secret. 24 × 24 = 576 titles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should a title reveal?
Enough to promise a feeling, not the ending. If a reader can guess your twist from the title, soften it.
Will my title already exist?
Short poetic titles collide constantly. Search the exact phrase plus 'story' or 'novel' before you publish.
