The Motel

Use the following writing prompt to write a scene.

You and your significant other take a road trip. Your GPS stops working, and you get lost. You haven’t passed a town in almost 50 miles, and you haven’t seen another car for at least 20 miles. It’s getting late and you’re tired and worried about running out of gas, so you stop at the first place you come to – a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere. What happens next?

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?
