High School Action Writing Prompts

Write a story or poem inspired by this image.

Your character is heading towards this dark tower. Tell the story of what happens here...

Write a story that takes place in this location. You can write in any genre, but try to match your plot to the setting.

The year is 2050, and all children are bought up in a government institution.

Create a story that takes place in this setting.

Create a story by writing multiple diary entries from your character (or multiple characters intertwined).

Try to make each entry build from the last to add to the storyline. If you switch perspective, make it clear that it's someone else's journal.

A simple game of hide and seek becomes much more horrific when a kidnapper joins the game.

How will your characters uncover what's happening, and face the situation?
