Writing Prompts

The Metro.

Take it downtown. Take it uptown. Fall in love. Lose a love. Make new friendships. Lose friends.

High school.

Graduate. Matriculate. Make a date. Love and hate. Your homework’s late.

Typewriter.

Clickety-clack, DING! Hammering the letters onto the page like you really mean to make them stick. One-finger typing. Two-finger typing. Nine-finger typing. I don’t think anyone actually uses all ten fingers to type.

Clear tape.

Great for pranks. Sometimes, on certain surfaces, you really can’t see it. It’s invisible!

Faith.

There’s a certain philosophical flavor to the concept of faith. Without faith, the lion never leaps.
