The Random Post of Perspectives

Hi guys, so for this blog post, I'm going to give you a few options. (I recently made myself a dream catcher, and lately I've been having a lot of strange and silly dreams. I suppose that is where all of this is coming from.)
You can write a poem, short story, lyrics, whatever you choose. This is just supposed to be a fun little experience of looking at things from a different perspective.
You only have to answer at least one of these prompts:

Prompt 1: For this one, you write in the perspective of a non-living object, such as an old child's bike sitting in the garage, or if you wish to expand on that, a house telephone being ignored by its house occupants. You could go through a quick life of this object or give it emotions.

Prompt 2: I know we have a few people in the class interested in dead things (I'm talking about The Walking Dead here) so for this prompt, try writing in the perspective of... Wait for it... Zombies! Or any other supernatural creature you desire. Just nothing too gory please.

Prompt 3: All of us I'm sure have had strange dreams throughout our life, being random and crazy and completely unrealistic, so for this prompt, all I'm asking of you guys is to recreate that dream, except in the perspective of something else. So for example, if you ever had a silly dream about a dancing, talking banana, maybe tell a scene from the perspective of a dancing, talking banana!

Remember, this is just to be a fun experience for letting some imaginative juices flow and for all of us to practice perspectives, so don't take anything seriously and just let your mind go!

"Now life has killed

The dream I dreamed"

Communal Story

Let's write a story together.

This will be a battle of speed and refreshing. Be the first to start it off, be the best to keep it going, and be the ultimate to pen the ending. Only serious additions are allowed.

Beauty in the Eyes of the Beholder

Beauty is different for everyone. There is natural beauty, beauty from within, and shallow beauty. Natural beauty is the one that no one ever really seems to notice because most human beings don't really take a second to look around. Haven't we all heard the saying "stop and smell the roses?" Well, we don't always do that do we? I know that there have been moments where I have been either too focused on myself or on others where I don't just stop and take a second to really take in all that natural beauty. Almost all of us can say this has happened to us before. We go on a vacation to a new place and we are to focused on our problems to really look out the window and see what it going on. Beauty is all around us and yet we still don't take a mere second to just see. Beauty can be anything. It could be that random person walking down the street walking his dog. It could be that snow covered bush outside of your house. It can be anything.
I know I am going to get a bunch of groans out of this one, but winter is even beautiful, especially after the first snowfall. However, it is March and we are still getting snow, and most are now sick and tired of it. How can we get tired of beauty when it is supposed to be timeless?

New You Resolution

I feel as if everyone has something they would like to change. Maybe about themselves, a situation, or someone else. I want everyone to think about that something or maybe more than one thing that you would like to change. It could be anything! Okay now here's the catch, I want you to write an eight word resolution. Only use EIGHT words, no more and no less!
Here's mine:
I wish to become even more like you.

A Whole New World!

One of my favorite things in any piece of fiction is getting to learn about the world of the story. Each world, whether it be an entire planet, a county, island, or even a small town, usually bring some really interesting lore and locations that the characters visit, and sometimes not even! It always enriches the experience for me, and just brings the story more to life.

Recently, I've come upon a really neat website that allows for random generation of worlds! The website is meant for fantasy worlds, but it'll still do for what I want for the blog post. Here is the link: http://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/world/ Once you're on the website, go ahead and alter the settings for how you want the world to spawn. Once you're all done, hit the Construct button and give it a bit; these servers are a little slow. But once you have your world, here's where the objective of this post comes into play.

Once your world is generated, find a location on the map, whether it be a town or somewhere else entirely. What I ask of all of you is to create some lore / back-story of that location. Make it unique and something any reader could get hooked on to learn a little more about.

Examples: In the great Colbalt Sea, there once existed a island that inhabited the Great Mermaid, whose kisses granted eternal life, but at the cost loss of sanity for each year still alive.

Be creative, and have fun with your lore!
