What if you could be anywhere for the next hour? Where would you go or would you just stay where you are?

What if you had the chance to do a complete reset on your life?

I want to write about number 1 because I personally think it'll be an interesting prompt to write about.

ReplyDeleteThe three prompts that interest me are 9, 10, and 57. Nine to me was a very intriguing idea, because to write a story like that you'd have to think of how you would react to learning something. Then you'd have to look at the people around you and think about how they would react to learning something like that. Prompt ten was also interesting, the idea of meeting someone who could see the future could be looked at in many ways. On one side the idea of seeing the future could be a gift or it could be looked at as a curse. My favorite and the most interesting to me was prompt fifty-seven. Meeting me but a boy would be odd. If there were a boy version of it makes me wonder if there would be any difference between the us two.
ReplyDelete2.) What if you woke up and had a super power?
ReplyDeleteI would like to have the power to heal living organisms such as, plants, animals, and of course human beings. I selected this prompt because I am a strong supernatural believer, and I would love to be able to help better the world.
57.) What if you could meet yourself as the opposite sex? For example, if you are a woman, you might meet yourself as a man. Would you talk to your other self? How would you react?
I feel like if we weren’t blood related, or related in any form then I might attempt to talk to my opposite simply because I like myself as a person, and I feel like if someone reflected my characteristics - I would surely fall in love with them. However, at first seeing basically my doppelgänger of opposite sex would be extremely weird. I chose this prompt based upon the fact that I would find it intriguing to meet my opposite.
71.) What if you found the cure for one illness, mental or physical? What would you choose to cure?
I would choose to cure cancer because I feel as if it would save a lot of lives, as well as end this stress among the population. I chose this prompt because illness is something that I’m familiar with, and it honestly hurts me to see people die because of it.

ReplyDeleteMy prompts are 19,42,66.
ReplyDelete19.) I find this one interesting because the idea of time travel is an interesting topic. There isn't a lot of knowledge on time travel but figuring out how to handle the repercussions of this would be interesting to write about.
42.) If i had the ability to destroy the world I wouldn't use it for global domination. I'd allow myself to become a tool in galactic conquests. If we discovered aliens I could be a trump card if things turn dark.
66.) Being able to do this it would make number 42 a lot easier.

ReplyDelete8. What if inanimate objects could speak to you?
~I am very intrigued by this prompt because it’s very different and cool. Who doesn’t want their mirror to reply back to them?
2. What if you woke up and had a super power?
~I am intrigued by the thought of being able to do something you will never be able to do in real life.
55. What if you were having a disagreement with someone and they pulled out a firearm?
~ I am intrigued by that near death experience and getting into the minds of the people in that scenario.
