Backwards Day Story
The Prompt
Imagine waking up one morning, but something feels… off. Instead of the sun rising, it's setting! Your alarm clock plays a lullaby instead of a wake-up tune. That's right – it's Backwards Day! Your challenge is to write an exciting, funny, or even a little bit strange story about a day where everything happens in reverse.
Will you get dressed by taking clothes off? Will you eat dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner? Will your teacher read the end of the story first? Think about how your main character experiences this topsy-turvy day. What hilarious mix-ups happen? How do they feel? Let your imagination run wild and show us what a truly 'backwards' day would look like!
