3 prompts
1.If you could live forever anywhere in the universe, with immortality, what would you try to accomplish?
2.Tell a well known story, but from the perspective of a person or an animal witnessing it. Ex: Little red riding hood from the birds point of view.
3.If you could be immortal as an old person, or stay the same age, but be mortal which would you choose and why?
3 from online:
1. At the end of the rainbow I found...
2.Write from the perspective of a cat stuck on a trampoline.
3. Pick an image on google and write it's story.
Here are three prompts that I found on the internet that I thought were rad!

3.

Here are three prompts that I came up with.
1.
A company has developed self thinking androids. There is a huge outcry for these beings to be dismantled due to them being sentient. The world goes to a second holocaust against these beings. Write from the perspective of either a human standing up for the rights of androids, or from the perspective of an android.
2.
You come home one night to find a murder scene in your apartment. One of the victims sputters through the blood in their mouth, "It's still here."
3.

1. Write about an experience that you would never have in your normal life. Imagine your family is sending you away for an unknown reason. Where would you go? Who would you meet? What would you do differently from your every day life? Who would you become?
2. Imagine you never met someone in your life that is very important to you. What would you have missed out on? What did this person do for your life and how did it affect you? Where would you be without this person?
3. You pick up a book and begin reading it and realize that it is about you. Does the book describe you as you thought you would be described? What does the book see in you that you dont see in yourself? Do you read to the end and see how your life progresses? What experiences in your life are highlighted in this book?
Prompts from other sources:
