A request
I'm feeling incredibly lazy.

I need to churn out a short story or two and I need some ideas.

Can someone give me a setting, a character or two (just names are fine) and three items which must be included.

I'll write it this afternoon and post the result either later this evening or tomorrow.

Ta.

*EDIT* Why thank you Bertie.

I'll have 'fun' with that one.

Right, now I have three story starters
I shall leave b3ta for the time being and return laden with tales featuring Ethel, David, Zebedee et al.


I'd also be interested to see what anyone else can come up with using the same starters.

Who says you have to be bored on a Monday?

Ooo.
At the top of a very tall cliff.

Emily, a jaded and introspective young woman with a lot to hide.

Frank, a middle-aged man who's made a mistake and it's cost him everything he holds dear.

A dilapidated cottage, some windfall apples, and some earrings.

Try this one...
Back of a van; Bob and Martha; a flowerpot, a bar of soap, a child’s drawing.
