| Here's a chance to write a war story. Or a story about people who re-enact WWII battles. |
Prompts
- "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles." Bret Easton Ellis
- It's cereal day, the day Dr John Kellogg served cornflakes to patients in his hospital for the first time. Write a scene in which some people are eating breakfast together - a family at home on a school day; strangers sharing a table at a hotel; hospital patients; explorers sitting outside their tent; something else - you choose.
- In 1981, the first homicide occurred in Disneyland. Write a story in which something totally not family friendly happens in Disneyland.
- According to Victor Hugo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a great flaming star falls from heaven onto the law courts on the seventh of March. Is this judgment from God or just a disaster? What happens to the people in the building at the time?
- "March the seventh, third week of operation. Starlings undisturbed. But two thirds of guard brigade stone deaf." Goon Show script
