They wander the earth, affecting those people who worship them by upholding, or failing to adhere to, their requirements. Some are friendly, others mischievous, some downright malevolent. Which god or gods do you worship?Introduction: I get my writing prompt ideas from many different places. Some of the more familiar seeming ones probably come from books I've read or movies I've watched, and I've tried to put my own twist on them. Others are from my own stories. They are more generalized questions of the ones that are behind my own writings. Some of the more surreal ones are from my dreams. I have no end of strange and unsettling dreams to draw upon for odd scenarios to find oneself in. Lastly, the truly vague or random-seeming ones are likely from an idle, nonsensical thought that crossed my mind at some random point, and I wondered what people would make of it. For most of my prompts, I deliberately attempted to keep them as vague and as undetailed as possible, avoiding genders, races, and anything that might point a writer to a specific solution to the scenarios. I don't want to give people a specific story to write. I want to give them a question to ponder that will allow them to create their own stories from their own unique experiences. So look at the prompts and answer them however you want. If you write comedy, answer them humorously. If you write dark drama, then answer with worst-case scenarios. If you write romance, try and figure out how two people could fall in love under those circumstances. If you're into historical writing, try and find examples in history of when someone might have faced a similar challenge.Or if you're like me, ponder them with all the seriousness of a life-changing decision, regardless of what genre of story the answer that comes out may fall under. Wonder how a person could come to that place in their life, what life experiences would drive them to make the decisions they did, and when you have an answer, then ask yourself what would have made them choose to do the exact opposite, or what would happen if a different decision had been made. Do this even if the answers you find make you uncomfortable. Do it especially if they make your skin crawl and your stomach turn, and then let your characters rationalize to you their craziness, madness, insanity, desperation, and fear.
