Crime Writing Prompts

You see a report of a missing person on the news. You ignore it, until two minutes later when they show up on your doorstep...

A character becomes increasingly convinced that their new neighbour is involved in something sinister, but they can't prove it...

“Hand it over, now!”

Use this line of speech to open your story.

In an alternative future where nobody eats meat, your protagonist has been secretly running a small farm.

Create a story around this character and their scenario.

Write a series of diary entries from the point of view of someone hiding, evading capture.

They can be hiding for whatever reason you like, but think about why they are writing in a diary and who they might hope will find it.
