I never tire of the old "he woke up with blood on his hands, six thousand dollars rolled up in his pocket, and no recollection of what had happened the night before."

My friend always used to do an interesting one. He isn't a writer but he often egged us on to create something from this:

"Just as I left the bathroom, I saw it out of the corner of my eye. I don't know what I saw but it was there. It was there and I was all alone."

One that I heard was,

"She crept down the stairs with naught but her jagged teeth, moving slowly, so slowly, towards the laughter heard from the dining hall. In her wake, dotting the steps, she left a trail of [___]" and then they left it blank so that you could, hopefully, come up with something more creative than "blood"

oh man, that's good. i got chills reading it.

"I saw the eyes in the darkness and my blood ran cold. My breath stopped short in my throat and I froze, as though my inactivity would help me avoid detection. Then I heard it breathing - great, jagged heaves, almost labored and sounding wet with saliva. I envisioned a face that might hold those eyes and that finally broke my stasis. I screamed and bolted away from those red, demon eyes, and as I ran, I heard it coming after me in great, heavy strides that echoed off the faces of building. Thump, thump, thump. It was getting closer, catching up, each foot (hoof?) fall sending vibrations up my spine. It was then that my heel broke and I collapsed heavily onto the granite slab of sidewalk. The thing gleefully cawed, and as it came upon me, I had only enough time to regret my decision to take the scenic route home."

i just wrote that.

"Write about a potato and his/her adventures working in McDonalds."
