I have to prepare a short story for as part of an in-class examination. I had written one up, but it was just terrible. So I thought that maybe someone here would have some ideas because its already been two days since my writer's block started :(

Write about something really unexpected. I once did a speech about flooring and got 100%. Yes, flooring.

I cure writer's block pretty easily once I start watching good tv shows. Just don't copy exactly what you just saw.

I did a story about the near future in an America where liberalism and privatisation were the norm. My writing of it absolutely failed, but I reckon I might be able to write another story with the same theme. Although I have to make it a bit more sci-fi as well to get more marks :=/

You know, in all seriousness, you could write about this. Sci-fi elements in it of course since you mentioned it has to be sci-fi.
