Happy Tuesday! University Inspired Writing Prompt!

Today, 20/3/18, is the next instalment of University Inspired Writing Prompts. Since my first year at university, I have been compiling a collection of writing prompts inspired by my time studying in Derby. I hope that these prompts help you create your own works!

All of these prompts are dialogue based, and are inspired by real conversations I have been part of whilst at university.

"We have to leave ornaments on the door to the cellar to appease the demon that lives down there. Before we had them on the door, he was always blowing fuses."

This quote derived from the fact that my housemates and I initially suspected that our student house, which is very old, was haunted by a demon that lived within the cellar.

The demon's been named Timothy due to asking a spirit board app what its name was. Since we were "introduced" to Timothy, he tended to be rather temperamental, making things go bump in the night, turning off our hot water, messing with our boiler and blowing the fuses in the cellar. Since then, we decided the best way to make sure Timothy knew we respected him, was to leave offerings for him. This meant that we began to hang seasonal ornaments on the door to the basement.

At the moment we have a flamingo Christmas ornament and a skeleton Halloween ornament hanging from the door. Since then, nothing else has happened. We believe that so far, we have managed to make Timothy like us!

I hope that this prompt inspired something - even if it was just a smile
