Prompts
- In 1945, a US Navy training flight vanished after taking off from Florida. A plane was sent to look for them and that, too vanished - in the area we now know as the Bermuda Triangle. Write a story about the Bermuda Triangle.
- It's the Day of the Ninja. Write a story about a Ninja. Ninja turtles, dogs, cats, cows or any other animal permitted.
- "One day in the country is worth a month in town." Christina Rossetti
- It's St Nicholas Eve, where in some parts of Europe children put out their stockings and shoes to get gifts from him. There's also a demonic type of St Nicholas called Krampus, said to be an orphan St Nicholas raised, so he dresses in a similar way, only darker. He's the one who leaves coal for bad children, or, if they're really bad, carries children off in a sack. Write a story in which Father Christmas goes bad, or is replaced by an evil version. It can be a fairy tale or a horror story.
- "Did sport with Mrs Fitzsimmonds, and then to the law courts." Goon show script.
