Question
How could a rainy window become the beginning of a story?
Attempt
A person looks out of a window on a rainy day and remembers something.
Notice
The setting is vivid, but nobody makes a choice. What would happen if the window itself had a small wish?
Revise
Give the window a point of view and one action. Keep the story under 100 words.
Make / test
Every morning the window collected the street: bicycles, umbrellas, the baker unlocking her door. It knew everyone by reflection.
On Tuesday, a raindrop asked what the window wanted.
“To be seen through,” it said.
So the rain washed away the dust. A child put down her drawing, looked outside, and waved at the baker.
For the first time all week, the window felt entirely invisible. It was delighted.
Next turn
How would the same scene change if the baker told it?
