Prompts

  1. "A week is a long time in politics." Harold Wilson
  2. In India, today is Worship of Tools Day. Write about a workman (or woman) and his or her relationship with his or her tools.
  3. In 1998 the International Astronomical Union issued a warning that a hitherto undiscovered asteroid might his the Earth in 2028. NASA later reassured people it wouldn't happen. Imagine there is an asteroid on a collision course with Earth (or any other inhabited planet of your choice). What do the people there do about it?
  4. In 1995 in Totnes, Devon, a protest smoke-in fell flat when nobody brought any Cannabis. Write about some people who organise something, but all of them believe someone else has got the most vital component in hand.
  5. In 1972, a postman was discovered to have failed to deliver over 42,000 letters. Why didn't he deliver them, and what did he do with them all? How was he found out?
