Writing Spark #53

Your character has the ability to change how they look, and so they have always hidden their true appearance behind attractive facades. Now, their abilities aren’t working, exposing what they truly look like.

This week, our prompt is a challenge:

Write the story of a character missing one of their senses.

Which sense will you choose? What effect will it have on the character or their story? How obvious will it be, if you don’t mention it explicitly? Go forth and find out!

This week, here’s a curious question:

“If I stare at you hard enough, will you spontaneously combust?”

Haven’t we all wished that at some point? What would happen if it was actually possible? So many options, go write them!

Here’s an idea to get you started:

The difference between an angel or a demon is mostly a matter of perspective.

Perspective is so much fun to play with. Explore all sides of it! Have fun. And work out just how different – or not – they are when it all comes down.

This week, we have a fragment of dialogue to inspire you:

“You look like death.”
“Funny you should say that…”

Why is it funny? Why and how does this person resemble death? Is it going to end well for either party in this conversation?

This week, here’s a little something to get you started:

It all fell apart while no-one was looking.

What’s it? What impact does it have? And why was no-one watching it? Who notices its collapse first? So many places to take this one! Choose yours and go for it.

Science and facts can be fun to use as inspiration for a story. Like this:

It is possible for a noise to be so annoying that the urge to murder the source becomes overwhelming.

How true is it? What kind of noise is so annoying that it would drive someone to desperate measures to be free of it? What is causing it?

It’s all up to you, so have fun with it!
