of Writing Prompts
Writing Prompt #1: A teenage girl walks into her home and finds traces of blood on the floor. Her first instinct is to run out the door. If there was a killer in the house, she wasn't safe.

Writing Prompt #2: A newly wed woman walks into a photo shop to develop pictures of her honeymoon. On the wall is a picture of her husband and another woman. He's wearing a shirt she bought him several months before. She grabs the picture and then storms out the store. Write a 500 short story on what happened next.
Writing Prompt #3: A YouTube video of a girl screaming for help went viral. The YouTube community, reporters, and the police wonder whether the video is a hoax. YouTube took the video down, but not before people downloaded the video. Write a short story on this incident.
Writing Prompt #4: An executive never makes a call himself. He always has his assistant ring his contacts.

Crawford was baffled by the responses. Write a 750 short story on what happened next.
Writing Prompt #5: It's been two weeks since Twitter crashed. There's no end of the crisis in site. Users don't know what to do with themselves.

Write a 1,500 short story on how the world came to a standstill.
