ATWIA Art or Creative Writing Prompt of the Day - FIRE

I've decided to start including Arts, Crafts, Creative writing, journal and other prompts I can come with to share with you. Some will be visual, some in words, all will be simply stated.
You can use them to play with anyway you like! (Or, of course, not use them at all.) Some ideas of what you can do with them:
- Write a story!
- Put an entry in your art journal or diary!
- Paint a picture!
- Make a card!
- Draw a sketch!
- Make an ATC artist trading card!
- Make a collage!
- Take a photograph!
- Write a poem!
- Do nothing with it!
- Make a scrapbook layout!
- Just think on it!
- But by all means, enjoy.

I might not be able to include one every day. But I'll try. I'll also post the occasional result I get from the prompt, that I create. Just for fun.
Of course, anybody else of you who want to share your results with me or the readers of this website, let me know! Wow, would I love for you to!
I hope you have fun with these. This first one is purely visual:

English Arts - Writing Topic Prompter

Ever want to sit down and write a story, but your mind is blank?
I often wish there were some magical way to break down those mental blocks, whether for writing or art or anything creative.
Well, this free tool I found could help me, plus homeschool and classroom students for those journals or stories they need to write.
I also figure it could help us artist-types who want to think of a topic for their art journals or next painting or artist trading card. It could even jog us scrapbookers into designing a page they wouldn't have thought to make otherwise.
Here's how Homeschool Launch describes this free online tool, the English Arts - Writing Topic Prompter:
"The hardest part of writing a story is starting it! Use this story prompter to generate some ideas and get your creative juices flowing.

If you type in a name, the prompter will use it. Make sure to specify "boy name" or "girl name" - or you may end up with some silly results! If you don't type in a name, the prompter will choose one for you randomly."
I tried it just now, and when I entered my youngest son Noah's name, this is the prompt I got:

She looked at Noah. "What happened to you? It looks like you just escaped a tornado!"
