1) Two English sparrows, one turning to gold while the other turns back to flesh. 2) When you wake in the treehouse in the morning, you see the forest has been flooded almost beyond recognition. 3) Clay knuckles that encourage you to pull your punches. 1. You can spend the gold one, but the next day it returns to you. 2. The water is only a foot or two below you and the tree seems to wobble like it might topple. 3. Clay knuckles that squish just enough to rob the force from your punches. |

19) Teleporting turtles. 20) A house built from a gigantic acorn. 21) A potion that causes the drinker to glow in the eyes of all who have less power 19. Turtles suddenly being found almost anywhere. Blinking in and out. 20. Trees with trunks 500 feet in diameter reaching a half mile into the sky. This has happened in just the last few years, no one knows why. 21. But no one knows the reason and people start bowing to those who glow, thinking they are something they are not. |

Each of my entries is no more than one sentence. They are unrelated to each other. The idea is for me to come up with something that might be cool. The reader can riff on it on the thread, thinking of a story around or behind it, what caused a magic effect, who did it, or whatever. Welcome to post or reply to anything on here, or to make your own such thread! |
