Tuesday Writing Prompt: An offer from a ghost

4/29/2025

 
Get your creative juices flowing each week with these fun writing prompts and story starters by Brian A. Klems of Writing Day Workshops. The only rules: sit down, start writing, aim for at least 500 words (no upper word limit), and have as much fun as you can with it. 

​This week's prompt is:
You wake up in the hospital and are dying. You can't remember how you got there. A ghost appears and offers to walk you through the strange night to help you remember what happened--and even tells you it may save your life--but he will only do it under one condition and he won't reveal that condition until after he walks you through the evening's events. Feeling like you have no choice, you agree to his deal and off you go.
