Prompts
- In Ancient Rome, today was the Fontinalia, the festival of Fontus, the god of fountains, springs and wells. Write a story featuring a fountain, spring or well.
- "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." Margaret Thatcher
- In Finland, they celebrate Failure Day today as a chance to celebrate failure and learning from mistakes. Your character has failed in something. How do they react? What do they do next?
- In 1944 in Great Leighs, Essex, a ceremony was held to replace a two ton stone which had been dislodged by a bulldozer. It was believed that dislodging the stone had released the spirit of a witch who'd been buried on the spot in the 17th century, and villagers hoped the ceremony would stop the poltergeist activity which had been taking place since. Write a story based on this event.
- In 1792 the cornerstone of the White House in Washington DC was laid. Write a story set in the official residence of a world leader, real or imaginary.
