An image a young person standing in a crowd, holding up a blank sign, with her mouth wide open. Two people are standing next to her and smiling.
This prompt was adapted from Erin Morgenstern’s stories.
Using the above photo for inspiration, write a ten-sentence short story. What do you think is happening in the photo? What events led the main subject of the photo to this moment? What do you imagine the sign could say? Or what does it say on the other side? Who are the people surrounding her? What happens next?
