We’ve got a structure for the next four prompts. We’re going to go in order of the four types of stories as depicted by the word MICE. The four types are:

 

Milieu: This story is about the world in which the story takes places in.

Idea: This story is about some information that people are looking for or a question people are looking to answer.

Character: This story is about a character; why they are the way they are and how they act.

Event: This story is about something happening, why it happens, and the consequences of it happening.

or do a search for mice quotient but it is not a unique search result.

 

We will start with a milieu story. In this case the milieu is a haunted house. Is it a normal haunted house with ghosts, demons and the like or is it special in some way. Are humans the ones who haunt the house?

 

Per usual, post your submission as a child page under the writing prompt page. Post comments and critiques to a particular sub as comments to that page.
