short writing prompt

One idea could be a story about a lonely lighthouse keeper. He spends his days in solitude, but one stormy night, he discovers a mysterious object washed ashore. It turns out to be a time - traveling device, and he has to decide whether to use it to change his past or stay in his present lonely but peaceful existence.

A mysterious short story could be about a small town where every night at midnight, all the lights go out and strange noises come from the forest on the outskirts. The townspeople are too afraid to investigate, until a new outsider arrives in town. This person is intrigued and decides to explore the forest during the next blackout, only to find a hidden underground lair filled with ancient artifacts and a strange being.

First, think about interesting middle school characters like the popular kid, the shy nerd, or the strict teacher. Then, create a simple but engaging plot, such as a school competition or a mystery in the classroom. Also, use vivid language to describe the school setting, like the noisy cafeteria or the dusty library shelves.

On a distant planet colonized by Earth, a strange alien artifact is found. It seems to have a power that defies all known laws of physics. The colonists must figure out if it's a gift or a threat. Well, they start with trying to analyze its structure. They call in the best scientists from all over the colony. Some think it might be a weapon left by an ancient civilization that once inhabited the planet, while others believe it could be a key to unlocking a new form of energy. As they study it, strange things start to happen around the artifact. Machines malfunction, and some people even start having vivid hallucinations. The situation becomes more and more tense as the colonists struggle to understand the true nature of this alien object.

There were several ways to write characters: 1 Prompt: This form is usually used to emphasize a character's language or personality traits. For example, an arrogant person might say,"I'm not talking to you. You're too small!" Or a shy person might say,"I can't look at you. You're too beautiful!" 2. Prompt: This form can also be used to direct the reader's attention. For example, a calm person might say,"I can say this without thinking." Or a person who lost control of his emotions might say,"I can't control my emotions. I want to kill!" 3. Prompt in the middle: This form is usually used to add some plot elements to the conversation. For example, a character might say,"I've thought about it and I'll do it." Or a character might say,"I don't know. I'll ask." There are many ways to write characters, but the most important thing is to let the readers understand the character's personality and way of thinking, so as to better understand the story.

In a far - flung galaxy, there is a planet covered in a strange mist that gives everyone who enters it the ability to see the future. A group of space explorers land on this planet.

As they explore the planet further, they discover an ancient temple hidden in the mist. Inside the temple, there are strange markings that seem to be a code for understanding and controlling this future - seeing ability.

In a far - off land, there was a young boy named Tom. Tom was an apprentice to a great wizard. One night, as Tom was cleaning the wizard's study, he accidentally knocked over a dusty old book. As he picked it up, a spell on the book was activated. Tom was suddenly transported to a land of ice and snow. There, he met a group of friendly yeti - like creatures. They were in trouble because an evil sorcerer had frozen their home. Tom remembered some of the spells he had learned from his master. With great effort, he managed to break the evil spell and free the land.

In my dream, I was in a world made entirely of candy. So, my short story is about a boy named Tim. Tim loves sweets more than anything. One night, as he sleeps, he enters a magical realm. The ground is made of gingerbread, and the trees are giant lollipops. He meets a little pixie who tells him that he can eat as much as he wants but must not be greedy. Tim starts exploring and eating different candies. However, he soon realizes that if he eats too much, the candies start to disappear. He learns the importance of moderation. When he wakes up, he still craves sweets but also remembers the lesson from his dream - world.

To make writing prompt middle school stories more engaging, you need to focus on the emotions of the characters. Middle schoolers experience a wide range of emotions. If your story is about a test, show the anxiety of the students waiting for the results. And make the story visually appealing. Describe the colorful lockers in the hallway, the scribbles on the desks. Another important thing is to have a clear conflict. It could be between a student and a rule, or between two students vying for the same role in a school play.

One way is to use it for character creation. For example, the random prompt generator might give a description like 'a cyborg with a hidden past'. This can inspire you to build a complex character around that idea in your science fiction story.
