Spinning the Globe
Imagine that a character did the old spin the globe and see where to take your next vacation trick. Write a story or scene describing where they went and how their trip panned out.
Now that the Icelandic budget airline WOW Air has cancelled all its flights, I wonder how my dreams of global travel on a tiny budget will still come true. In hindsight, it looks like WOW Air's $100 transatlantic flights were too good to be true.
But alas, I still have no idea where I would even want to travel next. Shall I try the age-old trick of spinning a globe, closing my eyes and traveling to whatever random place my finger lands? This brings me to our next writing prompt, which requires a quick spin.
