Write a story from the perspective of an NPC (non-playable character) in a popular game like World of Warcraft or Skyrim.
This prompt pushes writers to explore the world of videogames from a unique viewpoint – one that is usually overlooked. How would it feel to be a part of the game universe, yet have no control of the main storyline? What are the everyday struggles and joys of an NPC? What if they too dreamed of being heroes? This can be a wonderful exercise in empathy-fueled writing and can lead to some interesting explorations of the passive vs active role dynamics.
