Monster hunting takes it's toll on on the hunters in the form of strained relationships, bodily injury (up to and including death), the doubts that they are doing any good at all. Show the price that a hunter is paying.

Write a story (any length) consisting entirely of song lyrics or titles.

Optionally (and space permitting), list the musicians you've plagiarised...

Your story must contain this line: I thought this one was different.

It can be in the beginning, middle, or end. Any genre, any time, any world, all in good fun!

The rule is thus: You must begin with the line below.

Her laughter broke the silence.

You may write any genre; make her laugh sweet, silly, or menacing. It's the laugh that starts it all.

Include a stack of ... any sort of objects in the story. It could be planned, it could be under construction, it could be long completed. It could be sturdy or flimsy. Its members could be all of a type, or all varied.

Don't get stuck; just get stacked.

Write a story taking place in the future. It can be utopian or dystopian, space opera or cyberpunk, soft or hard - all I ask is that it takes place noticeably in the future, and ideally couldn't take place now without massive revision.

Write a story involving one of the items on your Bucket List. (A bucket list is a list of things you want to do some day.)

Any genre, any form.

Write a story in a 15 word-long sentence.

Or write a series of Ficlattés, each one also 15 words, continuing into one long stream of story telling.

It can be done, like this:

A click and a gun barrel poking his back, he knew Carlos had other plans.

The classic six-word story. Make it classy, make it memorable. Make it in six words.

You may need to pad with ..... in order to beat the minimum-length pixies.

Many words in English, as well as other languages, have may meanings based on context or other considerations. Pick a word that has diverse meanings or aspects, using it as your title, and incorporate at least two of these aspects into your story / poem.

Imagine your first person narrator being aware of any kind of countdown (time, quantity, etc.) that is important to someone else; present the narrator's feelings about the event and its meaning for the other person.

In the nearest book to hand, find:

The seventh word on page 12

The tenth word on page 37

The 30th word on page 64

Write a story or a poem that uses all of these words, contextualizing them and providing a conclusion of some sort.

Vary at will.

Any kind of waves: gentle, roaring, electromagnetic, gravitational, anything. Just be sure to mention waves.

Man working in a warehouse (or w/e) has coworkers disappear without saying anything and is joined by a post man. One of them is not what they seem.

Every day that a man wakes up he finds soft fungus or mold growing on his left hand.

Female Captain of a space-faring ship (hard sci-fi, fantasy, or steampunk are all options) has to put down what looks like a brewing mutiny.

A stray bullet or ricochet from a shootout with police and a criminal hits a child. How does/did this affect them?

Girl finds an undiscovered/unknown flower on her door step. What does it mean, who or what is it from?
