Summertime story prompts

Filed under: Uncategorized — storyprompts @ 7:07 pm

It’s the weekend, so I thought some weekend themed prompts were in order:

  • Write a story about a backyard barbeque.  The twist?  One of the guests shows up with a cooler marked with a bio-hazard symbol.
  • Many people wouldn’t dare hit the beach without a nice “starter tan.”  So, a trip to the tanning salon might be in order.  Write a story about a tanning salon visit gone horribly wrong.  It might be a humorous piece, or it might be something akin to the rather gruesome film, Hostel.
  • Summer blockbusters are a big part of the season.  Write a one-line “high concept” description of the summer flick you’d like to see.  Then, start writing a story based on that idea.
