CW-Prompts

Hang on... you said Saleera has reddish brown eyes. And I think I kinda stole the red eyes from FMA too... And they both have brown hair... but lots of people have brown hair. And Saleera's is straight and Katani's is kinda wavy.
There is that thing about the demon eyes, but I'm not really using it in the story. That was just mainly cause my brain was fried as I was trying to write the character sketch.
XP
And Katani doesn't act a bit like Saleera, except I guess when he's i a bad mood which luckily isn't too often for those around him.

OK, on to business. My teacher just emailed us these prompts. We have to do 5 of them in the next week. Ya.

1. Begin a short-short story. Required Opening line: (the character’s name) wasn’t sure she/he knew she/he was setting out on an important journey…Required Final line: (Name) understood she/he had finally come home.
2. Begin a story based on the title of a track on a cd
3. Begin a story based on someone’s comment on facebook
4. Begin a story in which a parrot is the only witness to a crime
5. Begin a story using someone who is in one of your other classes as a main character. What’s behind what they do, look like or say?
6. Open another textbook to a random page, math, history, whatever. Count down 21 lines. Use this as the first line of a story.
7. Review your daily lines to date, observation or dialog. Choose one as the first line of a story.
8. Begin with the line, "Some people swore that the house was haunted," and end with the line, "Nothing was ever the same again after that."
9. “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” Think about this quote by Leonard Cohen for a few minutes, then begin writing whatever comes to mind.
10. Scan the news for a headline that makes you want to keep reading. Start a story in which your main character reads this headline and what happens next. (Use Spartan Daily, nytimes.org, etc).
