Students Fantasy Writing Prompts

Create a story around who owns this key, or what it opens.

Your character lives alone in a harsh and desolate setting...

Write a story or poem set in this futuristic city.

Your character sees everything in black and white. One day, they see but one colour in a world of monochrome. Describe their experience of this colour.

It could be a red balloon or a blue bird - this is a good way to really get into vivid and metaphorical descriptions!

Describe a forest/woodland setting without using any real colours.

You may use imagery, similes, shade and tone etc, but do not use the words for any real colours.

“But I don’t want to go to bed, the man with no eyes is waiting for me in the closet!”

Write a horror or thriller story that contains this piece of speech. Is this a literal fear, or is this some kind of illusion?
