And every time, they take a peak in to the building as the ground level seems to still have its lights on, showing off that one lone desk and chair.

Writing Prompt No. 1
Welcome to my first writing prompt. I wanted to write this to help writers understand their characters more with the three below:
1. Give your character an animal familiar and create a short story that involves the familiar talking to your character about their previous life or lives.
2. Have your character interact with a secondary or tertiary character, have them talk or interact with each that they wouldn’t normally do or expect to.
3. If your character could speak another language, what would it be and how would it serve them if you introduce it in your manuscript.
