STORY STARTER

“When the storm comes, my compass always points to...”

Finish the protagonist's sentence, and use it to inspire the plot.

Umbrella

When the storm comes, my compass always points to—


You.


You’re always there when I’m at my lowest.


The time I broke both my hands,

And you held my spoon up so I could eat.

That time my apartment flooded,

And you let me crash in your house.


When I got laid off from work,

For something I didn’t do,

You took the rest of the day off,

And we went out for drinks.


My first heartbreak,

You threw a bottle of water onto my lap,

Like you didn’t care,

And still lent me your shoulder.


I go back and forth with my demons,

And when I do—


You’re always there.


So when your storm comes,

And your getting soaked,

This time—


I’ll be your umbrella.
