Writing Prompt: Almost. . .
I really like the question "What if?" I've always found it a
lot of fun to imagine what would have happened if one little thing had changed.
What if the plot to kill Hitler had worked? (World War II would have ended much
earlier. America would not have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. There would
have been no Cold War.) What if the first photon torpedo had destroyed the
Death Star? (Luke never would have become a Jedi Knight, and the Rebellion
would ultimately have lost.) What if Transformers had not been made into a movie?
(My life would be terrible.)
Well, with that in mind, I'd like to propose a game. Take the title of a book, then delete, move and/or change one letter, and give me the new plot. Example:
The Hanger Games
24 children are chosen to enter an arena
where they must duel each other with wooden coat hangers.
Hurry Potter
Harry Potter has to run really fast all the
time for no reason.
Tielight
Bella moves to Forks, WA where she encounters a
group of sinister but really good-looking tie salespeople.
Give me your best/most ridiculous book titles and plots!

What about from the Lightning Theif to The Lighted Wreath. It's about a child who is the son of Posiedon who has to find a Lighted Wreath to give to Zeus! Or maybe from The Five People You Meet In Heaven to The Five People I Met In Kevin. It's about a boy getting eaten by a man named Kevin and winds up meeting some of his family members who had suddenly gone missing the day before! I tried! Hope you like them!

1. The Pictionary (Dictionary): A book when you look up words, it has pictures, instead of descriptions. Example: Pictionary. Then it'd have a picture of a pictionary.
2. The Tail of Despereux: A tale about a mouse's tail.
3. Worrier Cats: A series of books about cats who worry too much.
4. The Ghost (The Host): The story of how a ghost became a ghost.
