Spring Cleaning

Use the writing prompt below for inspiration.

You begin the process of spring cleaning by emptying out dresser drawers. One of the drawers is stuck. You tug harder and manage to pull it loose. When the drawer comes out, a picture that was wedged in the drawer comes out. You recognize yourself as a toddler in the photo, but you don’t recognize the person holding you. On the back, the date is listed as five years before you were even born. Who is really in the picture? And how do you find out?

The First Day of Spring

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

It’s the first day of spring. All the signs of a strong thunderstorm are in the air. Write a scene describing the impending thunderstorm using all of your senses.
