Swing and a Miss

I hate to say it, but I don't have an update for September. A bunch of false starts, sure, but nothing fit to put out there for consumption. I also got a ton of assignments in the last couple of weeks, which has occupied all my time and creativity.
I still don't like admitting defeat, though. So I'm going to put out an open call to you happy few. Gimme a writing prompt. Anything. Everything. (Not Sonic. Please, for the love of Pete, let me take a break from Sonic)
No poll, no time limit, no guidelines - just throw whatever you want out there. Maybe I can fixate on something and generate some text off of that. Maybe I can churn out something later this month? Maybe in October? I honestly can't say - it's going to be a busy month for me.
Thanks immensely for your patience and support.
Cheers,
Ian

Good stuff! Thanks a lot! I'll see if I can't use these this month.

Ooo how about this - Write a story about a character going through the “Immortal Snail” scenario. The scenario goes like this: Someone is given either immortality, or obscene amount of wealth/ power (or both). The only downside is that a snail which is fatal to the touch hunts them down for the rest of their existence. All of their power and hubris - humbled by the inevitable, endlessly pursuing snail

No pressure ofc, but I've been trying out writing first-person horror lately and it's pretty fun, so how about this: Pick a mundane object in your garden (or just outside if you don't have a garden) and write a short diary-format story about it where the author is unsettled by it for some reason. Doesn't have to be straight up horror, but everyday stuff becoming spooky is fun and we're only two months from Halloween now :D
