Poetry: Describe a Suffocating Love
Describe a love that is either good or bad, but make it well known that one of the two or both of the parties feel suffocating at some point, whether to each other or to the reader to the point of annoyance.

Shed Your Skin
Think of a time in your life when you noticed your turning point from teenage hood to adulthood. This isn’t limited to 18 plus only. Some people grow up young and some grow up when they’re older. Neither is bad, so reference the transition age when you “shedded” that skin. What might you do with that skin you no longer wear? Do you dispose of it, tuck it away in a keepsake or pretend it never existed? The possibility is endless, show me what you do with that ‘skin,’ in ANY format.

Damn Them, Damn Them All
Show someone on their last wit, the end of their pitiful rope before they cast all rationality to the wayward and jump into the fray, doing something that they might not otherwise do. Like they've finally tired of playing by the rules of society, of living in silence and are putting all their bets on the table in one last final go.
Pick one of three positions to write from: a high school girl, a constable, the sheriff, or the instructor.
The final results should spin a very interesting tale from all these perspectives into a neat story if there's one crack at each person.

Tell me their quirks, their frustrating bits, and what absolutely makes you just squeal with excitement when you want to hug them and pet them.

Redemption for the Unredeemable
Write a piece that shows a character going through the realization how far they have fallen and what they have to do to redeem themselves.
