Random story ideas

Here’s a few story ideas off the top of my head. The intention is for these to be more useful than funny, unlike my writing prompts. I’m going to try using one of them if it speaks to me. You know, like, “GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTT AND WRITE ME INSTEAD OF LOAFING AROUND AND DREAMING OF DONUTS!” And yes, in my mind the story prompt would yell at me like a bad stage actor.

Ideas:

  • the initial stage of the afterlife of someone (with possible non-stupid twist)
  • the world changes in subtle but disturbing ways for someone
  • strange messages start appearing on a phone or tablet 
  • a giant alien mothership arrives and then nothing ever happens 
  • two words: ghost jogger 
  • and a few more that I will add later because it’s late, I’m tired and falling asleep
