I thought a simple prompt would be boring, but a single line changed my whole story.
For a month, I was stuck on a story about a man finding a key. It felt flat. Then, a friend suggested the prompt 'The key doesn't open a lock, it opens a memory.' I wrote for three hours straight. Suddenly, the key unlocked his childhood treehouse, and the story wrote itself. Has a simple prompt ever unlocked a whole new direction for you like that?

Wait, the key opened a memory? That's wild, it literally unlocked a treehouse from his past?

The key didn't open the treehouse itself. It unlocked a box inside that held the memory. The whole thing was more about the feeling it brought back.
