Sorry for not getting back to you! I just got back from vacation, and…well, I’m sure you know how that is. Hmmmm…a dare. Let’s see. I dare you to write a short story from the perspective of someone with a fatal disease. What does he/she do in the last few days of his/her life?A dreamer who believes in the impossible...and dragons. (INFJ-T)
August 9, 2016 at 7:58 am #15502@dragon-snapper It looks like you already have enough dares to keep you busy, but JUST IN CASE you want another one… I dare you to write a story about a pirate who is terrified of water but has never sat foot on land. 🙂

@bluejay I dare you to write about a villain who communicates his evil plans through paintings and the hairdresser who stops him.

They are great prompts. I will definitely get some story going. They both made me laugh. 😀August 18, 2016 at 9:47 am #15910August 18, 2016 at 12:06 pm #15916@Bluejay I want to see the finished results if you do either of the stories suggested. They both sound hilarious. 🙂

@dragon-snapper, Sorry, I didn’t mean to forget you. Far be it from me to anger a dragon. 😉 ‘Dancing butterflies’ I have no idea how you came up with that prompt and I have no idea how to use it.

@winter-rose have you ever read the short story “The Inspiration of Mr. Budd”? It’s about a hairdresser who catches a murderer. Highly recommended.
