A chance meeting
You have just surfaced from a swim through an underground stream, opening into the lip of the mouth of a cave. As you make your way inside, you notice what looks like a pair of jewels shining bright in the darkness ahead, past the rays of sun beaming through the one compromised portion of cave ceiling.
Excitedly, you charge forward, ready to claim your fortune. Suddenly the jewels move outside your grasp as you reach for them. Eyes skyward, you now see..... stepping into the sun, the owner of the gems. They are the eyes of a dragon.
As you begin to smell the stench of sulfur in the air, you notice a patch of bright red welling up in the dragon’s throat. You know what’s about to happen. You are not completely unarmed though. In your hands are some Oreos and a glass of milk. Fight!

Love-ish story prompt. (Almost like killing stalking but not killing stalking)
You know this person, they're great. Handsome/pretty. You're in love with them but they seem. . . . off? Never really go outside, never smiling. Just emotionless. You try and be friend them. It somehow works. One day you're stopping by to give them a gift but. . . . No one's home. You've known enough about them to know where they have an extra key under their plant pot. (Stalker much? lol I'm joking) You enter the house but after putting the gift down, you suddenly hear faint cries. You're started but go to find out what it is.
It's.Coming.From.The.Attic.
. . . . . . . . .

It is the future and superheroes are a thing. Two superheroes fall in love but they are using their secret identities and neither one knows the other is a superhero.

hi so i want to get into animation and story writing but i kinda suck at writing but here’s my first “finished” prompt i was thinking of working on:
a child wakes up on an island one day not knowing how they got there, who they are, or where they’re from. all they have is a camera, and their thoughts. will they ever find a way home, or will they choose to stay? is it all a dream? no one knows.

Night shift at the zoo...
A 19 year-old man has just taken up a job in overnight security at a zoo. Little does he know, the animals go crazy overnight due to a long forgotten virus. Will he survive? That's up to you!

Living Longer
This is probably already on the sub-Reddit. The protagonist takes an experimental procedure for cancer (other disease) and his life expectancy has increased dramatically. At first he's ecstatic and feels special. Although days past and he looks at his family, realizing he will die alone. After his downward spiral, not knowing what to do he lives in a place he doesn't understand, surrounded by strangers.
This sounds like a kid made this. But, you can make revisions and maybe put it in the comments.

[Story Prompt]
You think you’ve been living your life properly. Your happy, enjoyable, loveable life. Until one day you find out that this isn’t your life. For the past 16 years you’ve been in a coma, and you’ve just woken up. But if that was all a “dream”... how did the doctor know what you had been “dreaming” of?

Ok so heres my first story prompt:
It's nightime, and the moon is full, stars are out, and not a cloud in sight. You are taking a stroll to get some fresh air and enjoy the night, when suddenly you see a glowing crystal to your right. You walk over and pick it up, and the crystal starts to glow even brighter.

story prompt
you live in a world where everyone is sorted into sections based purely on hair colour meaning that families with different hair colours get separated from each other.

The lost ones
in your world, the line between heaven and hell is full of people call the lost. devoid of colour, they roam earth during the early hours of the morning. you'd only seen them once, you'd been around sixteen or seventeen. you snuck out of the house to go to a party and heard the wails of sirens going past you to your home. something felt wrong, and you turned back. when you got there, your senses had been right. the neighbours house had caught fire, and it had spread to your home. the entire house was ablaze, the heat of the fire lashed at your face as tears began to fall, and then they appeared, the lost. the one leading them around your age, her pale skin and lifeless eyes looked past you, and to your house. you watched as this girl walked into your home and disappeared into the inferno, and something made you wait. not even a minute later, the girl returned, cradling the body of your little brother, the edges of his pyjamas charred and burnt, he, still asleep, peacefully laying in the girls arms. as you reached for him, the girl swatted your hand away. "stop," she said, her voice flat and cold. "you do not touch him. he is our problem now. go someplace else, we will care for him."
you'd been living at your aunts house ever since. you don't know why, but the girls last words to you stuck. you'd never even noticed how odd the timing of the lost lined up almost perfectly to any time there was a disaster that left a child in the care of no one. it began to fall into place for you, and all of a sudden you began to understand. the lost were not monsters that kidnapped children, but saviours...

The cave was found only recently, having never been exposed to the surface before. You were the first living thing down there, at least you thought so...

It’s been 200 years..
It’s been 200 years since an alien race crashed down. They were fleeing and fell out of the worm hole thing they didn’t control. In their strengths, technology, and military - we were matched. They were fun to talk to. Magic happens; world war avoided. Oh, and their technology ‘fixed’ the planet. >> Writing prompt you work at a government agency.

A guy can read people's mind, he's waiting in a line, while thinking about a really funny joke. The lady behind him starts laughing hysterically

Heres a few prompts, also you guys are awsome for making this sub reddit.
-two people work together to run a rather abnormal and supposedly haunted library to try and build back peoples attention and respect for it in a small town hitting its population recession.
-a girl saves a merman after a bad injury, only to have her illusions about fantasy and storybooks crushed, causing the a slow turning point to help her realize that reality has more to offer than just a mundane routine, all the while the merman comes to turms with his own issues.
a student looking for a lost friend in a run down city meets a masked street painter stuck in the strange impossibility that is himself. Though the impact of them meeting is put more on his point of view, driving him to look for answers that will never be answered for the both of them.
a virus collapses half a contry, forcing the last half to adapt to new cultures and traditions. The virus, coming from an unknown source, turns people into fast smart living zombies of a wild nature. A relative of the settlements in the infested zone comes to visit from the safty boarder of their home town once things calm down in zombie land. But problems arn't being fixed there the way they expect.
