Who is that man?

Prompt:
It has been quite an exciting day so far, but now you're exhausted. However, you decide on walking home because it's nice outside. A few paces down the street, it starts pouring rain. You run to the nearest bus stop for cover. There is only one other man waiting for the bus. He is standing perfectly still, and you can't quite make out his face from here. Only one question enters your mind: Who is that man?

New Prompt

Hey guys! I was recently involved in a situation where I had to help someone partly down from a mountain to a spot where they could be lifeflighted to a hospital. While heading down the mountain I had a lot of thoughts going through my head. After we got him in the helicopter and everyone got to safety, the adrenaline ran out. I realized how scared I was for his safety and for my safety. It made me think about what he was possibly thinking as he struggled down the mountain, so here's my prompt for this week:

Think of a situation you've been in and write about the same situation from the perspective of someone else who was there. Write it in the comments below or copy a link to your story in the comments. Due next Monday, July 28.

I look forward to reading your responses!

Rita Skeeter Writes Again! +Prompt

The news broke just days ago - Rita Skeeter has the story of the summer!

JK Rowling surprised many of her fans by releasing a fantastic new short story, featuring a 34-year-old Harry Potter, as an article with Rita Skeeter's byline.

Naturally, it's written in Skeeter's traditional bitchy style.

The story features the reunion of Dumbledore's Army at the Quidditch World Cup, in the midst of the muggle World Cup events. This is a major deal for fans as it is the first time Rowling has written about these characters, chronologically, since the epilogue of Deathly Hallows.

While this news is exciting and much-awaited, we all hope Rowling didn't take too much time from the Fantastic Beasts screenplay to feed her story-ravenous fans.

This news warrants a fun and slightly magical prompt. I work with photos often as prompts and this particular photo has inspired many flash fiction blurbs by me and by other creative writers.

If this inspires a line, a quote, a poem, a flash fiction piece, a short story, or even a novel, that is fabulous! Write whatever comes to mind!

Comment with one of your favorite lines or phrases from your inspired piece! And don't forget to check out Rowling's new short story, by Rita Skeeter, on Pottermore or at the above link! Happy writing!
