It’s the start of another week and what better way to commemorate that than by having a story starter sentence writing prompt to get things moving. The idea behind this type of creative writing exercises is that you are given a simple, or not so simple, sentence that you must use to write a story from. In other words, the story (or poem, or flash, or whatever) must be inspired by the story starter sentence and the story must be used somewhere in the story, though it is not necessary that you use it as the beginning sentence. This exercise is great, since just a sentence or even just a phrase are usually quite enough to develop a whole story from if we are only willing to let our imagination and our subconscious mind take the rains for a while.
The story starter sentence:
Where did it go?
The instructions:
Read the above sentence a few time, then copy it out and begin writing the story, or just a scene from a story, or a flash, that it inspires. Once you have a firm grasp on what you would like to write put everything else aside and just write, for at least 30 minutes or, better yet, until the story is finished. Once you are done don’t reread it right away, but a few days later, then fix it up and write the second, perhaps even the third draft and then congratulate yourself, because you have finished another great story.
Stay creative!

A 7-foot-tall monolith mysteriously appeared in the National Park on May 1st, however, it has disappeared this morning. Where did it go? It seems that nobody has the idea.
When workers went to the National Park to do some cleaning this morning, they suddenly found that the 7-foot-tall monolith was gone. At the same time, they found some burned candles and a red rose around the place. The whole thing was so strange that rumours diffused around the city.
According to the video during the very day, no special things had happened or special persons had appeared in the whole park. The monolith just disappeared like a ghost. A lot of people thought it must be done by the aliens. Maybe the huge stone belongs to another planet, the settlers in the planet just came to get it back. A few number of the citizen kept the idea that the disappearance of the stone was an ill omen. They believed that some unlucky things would happen in this city.
Now, the park officials were deciding whether to move the candles and the red rose away. On one hand, the mysterious disappearance of the monolith and the special scene had attracted a lot of tourists. On the other hand, the police had commanded them to clean the scene in order to spike the rumour.
Until now, no one has publicly claimed credit for installing the monolith or found any clue about the monolith.
