Creative partner write.

Here is how it works: I start everyone with a prompt. You write it on a piece of paper or in your notebook. Then you write a second line, line only. Then  swap your paper with your partner. Each of you writes the next line continuing from the prompt you were given.

Swap as many times as can. Then we come to an ending. That’s the story!

The Prompt:

The winter solstice, yesterday , is the shortest day of the year, the one where we experience the least amount of light. Today each day gets longer.

Begin explaining the meaning of the winter solstice to a young man who came out of a coma with amnesia of what winter means.
