Newspapers seem to prefer publishing bad news. Often we can read about “the end of” something. E.g. “Will MOOCs mean the end of universities?” as the head line, followed by some depressing analysis. Write your own bad news story using the headline “Will U mean the end of Y?” You can substitute “u” with anything you want, even with “you”. Feel also free to substitute “Y” with anything you’d like, even with “why”. Make the story sensational!

From Neatorama, Let Me Play You The Song of My People: I wish I knew the story behind this picture. It went viral in Russia a little over a year ago, but it may be much older than that. Russia makes sense as a point of origin, though. When it’s that cold and snowy in Moscow, a harpist will both stay warm and draw attention by busking in a bear suit. And to own both a harp and a perfect bear suit, you have to get out and work every day. At least that’s the story from the shallow reaches of my imagination. Can you come up with a better one? Go deeper. Go beyond the literal. Who is the bear? Why the harp? How did they get here? Who are they playing for? Is this a metaphor? Write the story, go!
