IMPORTANT: for future short stories, NEVER start with cliches, especially, “once upon a time” and “it was a dark and stormy night”

well idk if your just going to build off of whatever ill say, but here goes:

(start with some kind of dream that ends with a tragedy or disaster, then:)

i woke up with a start to find myself drenched with sweat. the clock on the nightstand showed me a glaring red 4:00 am…..

if this helps, yw

Depends on what type of essay it is….definitely don’t do a brainstorm. They don’t help. Sit there and think for a while and something should come. Pick a word and make a sentence around it. Here are some ideas…

A guy comes into a school to make a speech but takes out a gun

A girl loves to play piano but can’t afford one. Someone moves in next door and they have a baby grand

You stand on the plank and stare down at the sea swirling below. All you can think of is what they last said to you, “Unforgivable.”

Put yourself into the story. Write what you’d want to read
