An Unexpected Fork in the Road

He came to an unexpected fork in the road. It wasn't on the map he'd been given.

Still, there was the choice of left or right, or to just go back and forget about the whole trip. But, having started this mad adventure it seemed a good time to keep going, to not give up. So, left or right... To the right he could plainly see the road leading to the town, fairly far in the distance yet. To the left, the road led into a dark forest. Studying the road, it seemed to disappear into the darkness thick with trees.

Well, what was an adventure without some mystery, a little danger, a bit of risk? He was a master of all the video games he had ever tried... no problem.

He walked to the left, into the forest, and was never seen again.

Writing Prompt: Pick a phrase you hear, something that tends to stick in your mind. Write a really short story around it.

Wind Like an Ocean in the Trees

The wind is like the ocean blowing in the trees. The green waves bend, and sway back again.

Wrote that on a receipt while in the car watching the trees on a windy day. Later there were tornado warnings.

Writing Prompt: What would you write about a windy day, or a snowy, rainy day, some kind of weather other than hot and sunny.

My Broom Broke...

Found on several Etsy shops: "My broom broke.. so now I write".

I like the idea, but it doesn't really make sense as a thing for writers.

  • now I work from home.
  • now I'm dating my bus driver.
  • now I charge the dust bunnies rent.

What can you come up with?
