What If? Writing Prompts: Mystery / Suspense V
Here’s a funny coincidence: I was recently looking through my archives of “What If?” Writing Prompts when I noticed that the last time I shared a set of mystery and suspense prompts was exactly a year ago tomorrow! So while I’m catching up on my blogging, I decided it would be fun to share a new batch of prompts in this genre, one year apart. See what mysterious stories you can create from these ideas, and feel free to add more of your own! Have fun!
What if… you discovered that your best friend was actually a spy for a hostile foreign power?
What if… you found strange messages in your private journals and notebooks that you don’t remember writing?
What if… you found alive and well a celebrity that the whole world thought was dead?
What if… an object in your house kept changing position even though you never touched it?
What if… a close friend or relative thought to have committed suicide left you a message in their will asking you to track down their killer?
Good luck writing some more mysterious and suspenseful stories!
If you have any “What If?” writing prompt suggestions (for any theme), please feel free to share them in the comments below. Ideas I like may be featured in future “What If?” posts, with full credit and a link to your blog (if you have one)! Also, if you’ve written a piece based on an idea you’ve found here, be sure to link back to the respective “What If?” post. I would love to see what you’ve done with the prompt! Thank you!
