March Prompts
June 4th, 2008 by Alex
These were the prompts I handed out in March, minus the ones you guys used.
- Write a story in which the narrator’s roommate/spouse/tenant is a criminal (or leads some other secret, shadowy life), but the narrator doesn’t know.
- Write a story in which a salesperson is trying to sell something supernatural/otherworldly/high tech/just really bizarre (adorable deadly furry thing, cursed monkey hand, death ray, pretzel shaped like Gooloo the Mighty, whatever).
- Write a story that uses at least 3 of the following: a guitar, a time bomb, a badge, a movie camera, a fire extinguisher.
- Write a story featuring only two characters, neither of whom speak the same language.
- Write a story in which a child unwittingly embarrasses the adults in his or her company.
