Write about a common metaphor, and what it would be like if it were both literally and figuratively true. For example, you might use the expression “let the cat out of the bag,” and write about a situation in which someone might let the cat out of the bag (tell a secret) while letting an actual cat out of an actual bag.

Weekly Creativity #138 | Flash Contest: Pretend Your Favorite Character has Social Media
Take a character from one of your favorite books, TV shows or movies, and pretend that they have a social media account. Write a few posts that they might share. Would they let their followers know what is going on in their lives? Or be secretive and vague in their posts? You can make it funny or serious, or a mixture of both! Feel free to keep it within the confines of the original story or make up new details.
