Here’s a new bunch of “What If?” Writing Prompts for you. This week’s post consists of prompts in a genre that has yet to be featured in this segment: paranormal. What stories can you spin around the phenomena lying just outside the scope of normality? Good luck!
What if… you could use your mind to move objects… as long as they were your own possessions?
What if… you found out your dreams about the future were actually visions?
What if… you could divine a person’s greatest dreams and worst fears just by looking into their eyes?
What if… psychic abilities were scientifically proven to be real?
What if… you discovered a way to bridge the gap between the spirit world and the material world?
Have fun turning out tales of the paranormal!

What if… Christmas weren’t about giving and receiving presents, but only about being together as a family?

Have fun!
What if… your pet(s) turned human for a day?
What if… in the future, humans were no longer the most advanced species on Earth?
What if… the creatures of ancient mythology existed today?
What if… your home/region/country were suddenly frozen in time while the rest of the world remained normal?
What if… the whole time people have been debating whether computers could become sentient… they already were?

Who’s ready for Halloween? In the spirit of the year’s spookiest holiday, here are some “What If?” Writing Prompts set to the general theme of horror. What sorts of creepy tales can you spin from these ideas? Good luck!

What if… Halloween turned into everyday life?
(Submitted by: Anisa, one of the founders of Writer’s Carnival)
What if… the monster you thought was living under your bed when you were a kid turned out to be real?

Have fun writing your own twists into these horror stories! Happy Halloween!
