| Is this a department store done up for the festive season? Write about the staff and customers. Or is someone getting a building for Christmas? |
Prompts
- A child goes to see Santa Claus in a supermarket grotto (or another setting if you prefer, like a charity party or a National Trust house). Santa is, of course, only someone dressed up, but nonetheless, something magical happens.
- "The world falls apart, but some things stay in place." Billy Bragg
- Today was the birthday of Dr Samuel Mudd, who was imprisoned for aiding and abetting John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln - when all he did was give medical assistance to the assassin. Your character is wrongly accused of something purely as a consequence of doing their job.
- Shovels were celebrated by the French Revolutionary Calendar today. Write a story featuring a shovel.
- Uri Geller was born in 1946, famous for his psychic powers, most notably his ability to bend spoons. Your character has a similar power. What do they do with it?
