Writers Digest, August 2006, p. 21, offers this writing prompt for a short story:
Fill in the blank: Seven days ago, [blank]. Now, nobody will talk to me.The idea was to fill in the blank, then write a short story based on whatever your version was. For example, you might fill it in this way: Seven days ago, I shot a car with a bazooka. Now, nobody will talk to me.
So why did you shoot a car with a bazooka? And why won't anybody talk to you?
Go ahead. Add your own [blank] to fill in the writing prompt. Then tell us a story!
