Want to write a fairy tale? There are 3 magical posts on my Weird Wednesday blog, with writing prompts:

The Obstacle Flight: Evading Ogres with Everyday Objects

The Transformation Chase: Shapeshift Your Way Out of Danger

Outwit the Undead With This One Weird Trick

‘Quick! quick!’ called out the giant’s daughter, ‘take my comb from my hair and throw it down.’

Nix Nought Nothing took her comb from her hair and threw it down, and out of every one of its prongs there sprung up a fine thick briar in the way of the giant. You may be sure it took him a long time to work his way through the briar bush, and by the time he was well through, Nix Nought Nothing and his sweetheart had run far, far away from him. 

Writing prompt: Update your objects. Yes, we still have combs and mirrors, but what would happen if your heroes threw something much more modern behind them? What about a rubber band, pack of chewing gum, or key chain? How about a reusable grocery bag or an automatic umbrella? What on earth would a fidget spinner turn into?
