The Great Race

Write an intense story about a high-stakes race against time.

Maybe it’s an artifact that must be discovered before it falls into wrong hands, a lifesaving drug that needs to be delivered, or a ticking time bomb that must be diffused. What are the stakes? How do you overcome the obstacles in your way? How does the race test your character’s resolve? This constructive writing prompt involves tension-building, character development, and exploration of the adrenaline-filled driving force that is a race against time.
