You should be able to think of something easily. Your always far better than me when we RP, you are more creative than you think.

Realistic fiction? Hmm....

Perhaps the thoughts of a quacker wanting to fly south with the geese and why he ends up staying (Probably because he finally gets all the hugs he wants*

Mayhaps a fable of sorts....I'm sure there are lots of modern sayings you can work into the end of a story.

Young man is at a lingerie store looking for a gift to surprise his girl's first Valentines day. He's not very confident and isn't sure what to get and also working on a limited time budget as he was only able to steal a few minutes from his girlfriend. In short, he's nervous. More so when a young, A-type clerk finds him and, through stammering miscommunication, mistakes "a gift for my girlfriend" to mean the guy is looking for something for himself. Jokes abound as the peppy young clerk bounces around suggesting awful things, clearly getting a kick out of this predicament. The man spends the next few minutes trying to persuade her otherwise only he's unsure of his girlfriends size (or even women's garment sizes), what she wants, or even some of the types of lingerie available. In a fluster, the man buys a number of random things hoping to put an end to this embarrassing situation. Just in time for his girlfriend to return bumping into him. She seems overly acquainted with the clerk who turns out to be her friend. Hilarity ensues.

A poor, young kid obsessed with B-horror movies of yesteryear begs and pleads for his mother to make him a snarly werewolf costume for halloween. As the big night approaches, there's no sign of his overworked mother having even begun fashioning the costume. Every night the boy pesters her, oblivious to her exhaustion. She arrives late the evening of, frazzled from a long shift with only a cheap, left over dog costume purchased from the local 5 & Dime. The boy can't even tell the breed let alone if it's a costume for a boy or girl. Dejected, he heads out trick-or-treating only to be ridiculed by the other kids and even snubbed by his neighbors who aren't quite sure what to make of him. He returns home to find his mother gone, working another shift. She's left a note explaining they needed more money and she hopes he has a good time. The boy slowly realizes how hard she works and what a brat he's been unable to even enjoy the present his mother worked so hard on.

The only idea i have had in a really long while is about a secondary schooler coming back to school are a one year absence. During the year it slowly unveils that during the year he was abcent he started a carrier in the swiss porn industry.

My short tips for writing a short story without any inspiration is to;

1. Find a theme for the story.
2. Decide what kind of setting you want, it could be all from comedic to scary to romantic or even black comedy.
3. Make the main character relatable so the reader care about them. Think about typical human traits, like thinking you're ugly and fat or unsuccessful, worrying, working hard etc. People relate easier when they feel the character is like them.
4. Try to make references to current events or historical.
5. The story should have a point.

SOmeone goes outside and notices there is a guy sleeping in his car but he is late for work so he goes to work anyway with the guy sleeping, who wakes up part of they way through the trip and starts talking to him. The main characters is at first weirded out but he realizes he likes having someone to talk to. Then he gets to work and the guy falls back asleep, so he leaves him there, and while at work the car next to his gets broken into and the guy gets caught because of sleeping car guy. Basically sleeping car guy turns out to be great. STORY.
