Today's prompt task is to write about the Perfect Place. Flesh out a character in your mind, it doesn't have to be a full complex one, just something simple will do. Then once you have a basic idea of what that character is like (looks, what they like, how old, what gender, where they're from and what they want,) imagine what the most perfect place that character could be in is.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a physical place, it could be anything. A dream job, a state of mind, a place in their life (meeting someone, finding something etc), or it could actually be a physical place, a personal utopia.
Once you've done this, think about how the character could get to this place, what do they need to do in order for that to happen? Do they have to find something (physical or mental), do they have to go somewhere, or do they only have to ask?
Finally, one you've done this, think about what the character will do after this, will they live their life differently or will they keep on living like normal? If they do live differently, how so? Is it in simple little changes in their personalty or will they go out of their way to do something big.
That's it, go!
Also, this probably doesn't need to be said, but you don't have follow the structure of this prompt, you can take it in any way you want. Even if the idea you get is in no way related to what I wrote.
And please, post any ideas you have in a comment, no matter how short or if you think they are bad. The whole point of this subreddit is to get ideas for stories and for us to help each other become better writers. Mistakes are the signposts to success. So if you wrote a "bad" little story from this prompt, post it and ask for feedback and others will give some, and you can make better stories.
