Writing Prompt: Old Pictures

Stimulate your imagination and flex your writing muscles with a writing prompt! Take a minute to observe the contents of the picture below. When you're done, write a story fragment of 200 to 300 words.

The party is winding down in the living room, but all is quiet in the study. Quiet, save for whispers from the past.


Quick! Imagine a person entering the scene.
  • The person entering the scene is a visitor. Who is this person and why does the person take interest in the pictures?
  • One of the pictures reminds the person of a love that had ended. Describe this picture, as well as the nature of the person's past affair.
  • The host of the party enters the room and stands beside the visitor. Imagine what the party host looks like. What does the host say, and what does the visitor say in response?
Whatever you write as a result of this writing activity might lead to your next great story! Have fun writing!
