The Monster at the Lake

Use the writing prompt below to inspire you to write a scene.

You and your friends go to the lake for weekend. You all pile into the boat late in the day for one more trip around the lake. When you reach the middle of the lake, the driver lets the boat idle for a few minutes. You look over the side of the boat and see something begin to rise out of the water. What is it, and what do you do?

The Camping Trip

The season of summer vacations is upon us. Use the writing prompt below to write a scene.

You and your significant other decide to hike through the mountains in the Pacific Northwest for your summer vacation. You’re ready to unplug and unwind for a few days. As the sun sets on your first night in the woods, you hear something thrashing in the woods nearby. You go to investigate and find tufts of fur all over the ground and even up high in the trees. What was there? Was it Bigfoot? An animal? What happened to it?
