The Coffee Bean Serial Killer prompt
A funny and clever tale that shows the dire consequences one might have to pay for using a word that has the same pronunciation but a completely different meaning.
"Rusty’s cereal was ruined, and as his sister disappeared back to her bedroom to slam her door – Rusty sat back down and instantly got his phone out. Never one to miss an opportunity to update his socials, he wrote, ‘I’m living with a serial killer. Just seen my sister murder with hot coffee. Stay safe peeps’. And, despite his empty stomach, he went for a surf."

The Coffee Bean Serial Killer prompt
An intense and energetic story where the character is penalised for stealing.
"I wasn't just there to be enthralled by the historic museum again. I worked for the local newspaper company and recently, there had been mysterious deaths. All the cases had somehow been linked to the Winky Museum. The victims had all visited the museum the day before and had been killed in their homes while drinking coffee. The papers called the murders, the “coffee bean killer”

The Talking Coffee Bean prompt
"I opened the store for the 3 hours a day that I was allowed during the Covid pandemic. The rest of the time I was cooped up there, I entertained myself by reading books and looking for online job opportunities, I ended up mentally exhausted and every night I would fall asleep on a yoga mat that was my bed.
Suddenly, in the early morning hours, I was awakened by a voice or saying:
Please don't grind me down."

| @esther-emmanuel | A Mysterious Birthday Present |
The Talking coffee Bean prompt
"My eyes opened slowly as I began approaching the paper bag and it began flipping over on each side violently. Screaming, I fling my slipper and run to shelter myself on the other side of my kitchen island. Watching the paper bag on the floor, I heard a tiny voice say, "Is she going to kill me or let me take out this paper bag!"
