Time Capsule Mystery

Unearth a time capsule buried by an unknown person. Jot down the items present in it and how it affects your daily life.

Thought-provoking, nostalgic and possibly oceanic, this prompt is great for exploring the sensations associated with memories, shared history and the sometimes surprising connectivity of timelines and people. It delves into themes of seclusion, personal history and the effect of the past on the present. It also invokes questions like, “Whose memories am I holding in my hand?”, “Why were these items significant enough to preserve?” and, “How would you feel discovering someone else’s past?”
