The Walk

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

You take your dog for a walk, and about halfway through, your phone dings with a text message: “I’m watching you.” You look around, but the only person you see is a woman going in the opposite direction from you. You continue on your way, but feel uneasy. Your phone dings with another message: “Don’t look behind you.” Who is following you? And what do you do?

The Blind Date

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

Your best friend has set you up on a blind date with one of her old friends. Your date texts you to set up the location, and you agree to meet at a local restaurant. Because you looked him up on social media, you know what he looks like as well as a few of his interests. So you’re surprised when he walks into the restaurant. What has surprised you about him?
