  6. Okay, so what if we did like a picture prompt. Except instead of Kupiec or Ell assigning a photo to us, we pick our own. It would be up to you to write a poem or short story centered around any painting or photograph of your choosing.

  11. One more suggestion. You have to write the premise for a modernization of well-known story. For example, the way West Side Story is an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Choose any legend, play, fairytale, classical story, etc. and write a summarization of how you would adapt it. This would be a description of the setting, characters and so on using vivid language. Make it at least 200 words. Ja feel?

  12. First Lines/ Last Lines
    In the corner of the living room was an album of unbearable photos
    Pictures of her past
    Pictures of her family
    She wasn’t in any except part of her head
    Her new adopted family didn’t like her
    Like they once said
    It was a sad unheard story
    Of a little girl who didn’t know why she was there.
    Footsteps were heard, she came in.
    I shut the album and tossed it under the couch
    She stared and grabbed the album
    She looked at me and told me a story
    “I was once a little girl like you.”
    What happened?
    “They loved me in front of their friends never alone.
    They showed me off I was just an accessory
    At home they kept me locked in a basement for many days,
    With an ugly fat cat his name was Henry,
    They never fed me, they never cared
    Except for one maid she was always there
    They made me miserable every single day of my childhood
    They made fun of me because my family was killed.”
    Tears came out and that was the finale
    The little unbearable album
    which she tore with her hands.
