Everyday Life with a Twist Writing Prompts

You're a night guard in a restaurant with animatronic robots. It's actually pretty sweet. They just walk around and maintain the place and don't bother with you at all. All you need to do is keep them out of the kitchen so they don't start making stuff.

Four roommates. Three are aliens who took human form to learn about human culture. All three are from different plants and think the others are humans. The one human knows this and is trying to hold it together, but loves playing into their gullibility.

You wake up as your 5yr old self. Everything around you is as it was when you were 5, but you have all your knowledge of the next 15-75 years. It is your "first" day at school, and you must convince everyone, for the next 15-75 years, you really are 5...

You are a werehuman. But you are not a wolf that turn into a human on full moon. You are a regular human who, on a full moon, turns into a way stronger, very angry and hyper-aggressive version of yourself. It is even harder to explain than being a werewolf.

You just found out you’re a superhuman. You have everything that comes with that, super strength, speed, and the ability to not need to eat or sleep. This is good until your friends start realizing you haven’t eaten in a while, causing them to have a surprise intervention.

"I spent three months meditating in the woods before i got my Druidic abilities," "oh, i was just watering my plants one day and one of them told me my hat was stupid"

Dragons do not build nests. Instead, they sneak their eggs into other unsuspecting species and let them raise their young instead. And this "chicken" that just hatched on your family's farm sure doesn't look like any chicken you've ever seen.

Alarms blare throughout the facility. Screams and gunshots echo through the halls. The rookie scientists around you are in panic. You sip your coffee at the breakroom table in peace, "just another tuesday." You state calmy.

"Listen. Those dishes need to be washed, these lights need to be kept on and these bills gotta be paid. I don't care if I'm the only one able to defeat the big bad guy- I'm not working for free."

You were happy with getting an A+ on your "vampire myths" essay, with a comment about how you did excellent research, but you thought that was the end of it. A few days later, though, you open your door to find a vampire and a vampire hunter on your porch.

A child has brought home a "puppy" and is insisting on keeping it. The "puppy" is most certainly NOT a puppy, but seems pretty content with the situation anyway.

Demons are known for disguising their contracts as seemingly innocent agreements or promises. One day, the girl you made a "pinky promise" with when you were young shows up at your door.

A stranger hands you the largest emerald you’ve ever seen and asks for some sticks. Jokingly, you say you’ll need 3 of them for 12 sticks. He hands them over.

The tour guide said that the stone in the center of the village could "only be moved by a great demon lord". Every one snapped pictures and moved on. You stopped to tie your shoes and braced yourself against the stone. You stand there in shock as you effortlessly push the giant stone around.

Years ago your work place accepted a prank delivery to an evil villains lair, ever since that day the villian hasn't left you alone, convinced you were secretly a hero, no matter how many times you explain you were just a pizza delivery driver and it was a prank call.

A convention where every cosplayer unexpectedly physically transforms into their character.

Your roommate is a hulking demon, a former warlord with millennia of combat experience, and the picture of menace and brutality. You open the door to find them standing stark naked, their brand new tuxedo held carefully in their claws and a desperate plea for help in their eyes.

An immortal person decides to start streaming themselves playing Geoguesser, and over time become extremely popular as they tell the history of the places that they guess.

Your friend always said "I'll rest when I'm dead," so much that it became his catchphrase. He says it again today when he came into work, going about his daily routine. This normally wouldn't be concerning, if not for the fact that you attended his funeral two weeks ago.

While magic exists, it’s impossible for it to affect "normies", nor can they witness it. You can cast a huge explosion, but only those magically gifted will be hurt. Buildings & objects constructed by normies are unaffected too. You’ve been waging a secret war with Jerry from HR for years now.

Since your phone number is one digit off from the Wizard Tech Support hotline, you get the occasional call. You know nothing of magic, but your computer skills and common sense translate real well.

Everyone knows that the stange person at the end of the block is not human, but no one cares. The reason why is that they are the kind of thing that gives out king sized candy bars on Halloween, cleans of the snow covered sidewalks of the whole block, and are willing to help with anything.

Most magic is fake and most mages are just con-men, while true mages are very rare. As you are attending an introductory lecture at your local magic school you are shocked to learn that, unlike you, none of your classmates or teachers can conjure up flames out of nothing in their hands.

You wake up with several messages on your phone, all of them from your friends and family telling you some variation of "TURN ON YOUR TV NOW". On your way to your living room to turn on the TV, you see something out of the window: dozens of camera crews standing outside your home.

As a child, people believed your ability to talk to animals would make you a fine veterinarian. Funny how you got into the extermination business instead.

The new employee is clearly a mimic attempting to fit in. Everyone is aware of this, but the mimic is just so innocent and precious that they just accept them.

"Honey, you know we dont have a child right?" "Yes i know, but the demon is behaving and has good grades, might as well play along"

“Mom…Dad…I’m…” “Gay? We know sweetheart. And we still love yo—-“ “No I’m—“ “Trans too? Oh don’t worry dear we always kind of knew…” “No for the love of god I’ve been turned into a vampire!!”
