I need to practice my writing, very badly, and I honestly have no idea what to write about. So, give me some prompts that I can use to write something short with!

Thanks in advance! (p.s. it doesn't matter what type of prompt!)

Several prompts:

• His eyes were cold and lifeless as he stared at me. "You have no idea who I am, do you?"
• Imagine a world where sharks swim in the forest and somehow you/your character find yourself/themselves lost in the woods
• She was sure this was where they had disappeared
• The story of the first person who broke the cycle of reincarnation
• Take an event from history and write an account detailing a conspiracy about what really happened - Outlandish or realistic, new or ancient, it doesn't matter

If these don't work or you want more, this website also has an updated list of prompts (recommended!)

Honestly the number of ways you can start a story is practically unlimited. I personally like to add an air of mystery to prompts.
"He stood awkwardly, as if unsure about whether to run up to embrace them or flee with impunity."
"Stepping onto the docks it was clear that this was a far cry from the loving home he had left behind. The chill of winter was the only thing present to welcome him to the north."
"As she gazed from the precipice into the inky blackness below, she was forced to question the wisdom of asking the falcon to teach her how to fly."

He never meant to die from that cereal. Now he has a new chance at life being a reincarnate! The only problem is…he's a chicken.

Just imagine it though…

Hearing noises from your kitchen, you decide to go and investigate. A man is trying to fit into your spice cupboard. 'They won't be able to smell me over the spices, now help me hide,' he says.
