Writing Prompt: List

This one is inspired by my friend Christine. Earlier in the week, she posted a “mystery list” on Facebook — she had made the list at some point in the past and now had no idea what she’d intended to do with the items. I’ve borrowed a couple of items from her list, a few from random lists on the Internet, and added one item on my own. Use this shopping list as inspiration for a scene, poem, or story.

  • oranges
  • hard cider
  • kerosene
  • bucket
  • bleach
  • candles
