Ordinary Charms

Create a character who has the power to animate inanimate objects. Give life to mundane items he/she interacts with every day.

Imagine a protagonist whose ordinary day is populated with animated objects – a talking teacup, a dancing chair, a lamp that tells bedtime stories. This prompt allows for the investigation of everyday life through a magical lens. It’s an opportunity to convey human experiences and emotions through the eyes of non-human beings. Perhaps explore how this form of ‘life’ contrasts to human existence, the joys and sorrows it consists of.
