I have to write a short story in 9 Days HELP

Here are some writing prompts that will get you started!

- You buy a deadly haunted house, little do the demons know you are an even older form of ancient evil.

- "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato

- You are greeted by two of your children from the future, each from a different timeline. You must decide which timeline to follow and which child to give up.

- You have a habit of saying things like "I know you're there" whenever you were alone, just in case you were being watched. After years, the habit pays off and a shocked hit-man comes out of the shadows. You realize you have to wing it.

- Time travel.

- Once a year you switch bodies with a random person who is best in the world at a certain skill. You can't change back until you discover what this skill is. You've been changed for a month and are starting to get worried.

- You meet a genie that grants one wish. You wish to go back in time and change your biggest mistake. You get taken back to the time right before you made your wish.

- Lonely and bored, you developed a secret language, that you consistently use to talk to yourself. One day, when you mutter something under your breath, a stranger replies with ease.

Hope that helped! Feel free to improvise and change up the prompt as you see fitting. Good luck.

I decided to write about a girl who meets a stranger who helps her understand that her brokenness is beautiful too

@HalliwellSister My Two Pence of Writing Prompts:

1* Your favorite comic book character has come to life and is now invading your personal & social life. Is this the best thing to have ever happened to you? A godsend that puts you at the top of the social ladder and brings a fresh romance in your life. Or is it something more sinister, reeking of nefarious plots that leave behind a trail of bleeding bodies? A pandora's box you should have never opened...

2* King Arthur Pendragon is a broken man. His father, Uther is dead. Only a week has passed but he must rule. But the only thing on his mind is Guinevere and her rising fascination with Sir Lancelot. Jealous and struggling to grieve, he takes to the tavern and discovers mead is the perfect remedy to all his woes and blackmails Merlin into joining his drunken parade. What ensues is a pandemoniam as the great king and sorceror, drunken out of their mind attempt to rule Camelot with penguins and bread toasters making an appearance as Sir Lancelot finds a strange substance called Blu Tack gluing his mouth shut.
