Weekly Prompt: A Lost Stuffed Animal
Write a story about a child’s lost stuffed animal
Where are my keys? I can’t find my wallet. Have you seen my phone?
These are adult cries of desperation, but they pale in comparison to a child’s sad song, “I lost Bear.”
This week’s prompt: Write a story about a child’s lost stuffed animal.
Feel free to explore this theme in whatever genre you want: literary fiction, horror, science fiction, magical realism, fantasy, Western, a spy thriller — they all work for us.
We love characters with depths of feeling and motivation.
