Thread: What if...

I was thinking that maybe asking lots and lots of 'what if' questions could be a source of inspiration for a story.

(Or maybe someone else known’s of a different kind of question that would be great to stir inspiration)

So I would like to ask you to join me in what if questions that might inspire yourself or others. Here is mine:


What if a world could be bought in auction? (assuming that there are many different worlds to be bought out there)

What if molecular bonds were unreliable?

What if humans never evolved?

What if someone stole your life, but was better at living it than you?

or

What if someone stole your life, but you didn't want it back?

What if you were targeted for death?

What if this topic reached 500 posts? Haha just kidding ok here I go for real now.

What if the continents had never drifted apart? You know that one time when it was one super continent named Pangea.

What if you were traveling on a train, sitting in a seat against the center alley, when all at once every other passenger in the car, around sixty, slowly turns and stares directly at you?

Haha Caelum you just reminded me of something I would make my class do in elementary school. I would say, "Group stare!" Then I'd say a name and get everyone to stare at them.

lol. If that happened to me somewhere, a whole bunch of random people just staring at the same time without provocation, I would be like wtf. It'd be a good idea for punk'd.

Teah it is a good idea. But nothing would change for me because I already turn heads lol Ok well I don't wanna get in trouble for being off topic so...

What if no one ever found out how to run? Like they walked but never got the idea that putting one foot in front of the other faster than normal would make them go faster?

=O!

What if you could pick someone who for one day had to live your life?

or

What if you could pick someone and for one day you could live his or her life?

It'd be more interesting if we answered the questions.

Well the idea would be that if you felt the desire to answer the question that could be the start of a story.

What if all frictional forces between all objects on Earth suddenly ceased to exist?

Well, for starters that would take all the fun out of sex. The human race would die out.
