The Sand Castle

Use the following writing prompt to inspire you.

You and your friends spend the summer on the beach. You search for shells and then build a sandcastle. When you wake up in the morning, you’re in a life-sized version of the sandcastle. You reach out to touch the wall, and it crumbles under your fingertips. A hermit crab wearing one of the shells you buried crawls out of the sandy floor. What’s going on, and how to you get back to real life?

The Ocean

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

You and your significant other take a trip to the ocean. You spend your first night in the cutest little house on stilts, and you step out on the deck in the morning, excited to spend the day on the beach. You stop and stare in surprise. There is no beach, only water. Your cute little house on stilts is now in the middle of the ocean, with no land in sight. What happened, and how do you get back?
