So for today’s creative writing prompts, we are going to focus on these bad boys and girls and cats and aliens.

1. Write a story from the villains perspective where the hero is viewed as the bad guy.

2. Write a story where the villain is an object rather than a person.

3. Write a story where the hero has villainized a person rather than the person actually being after them or getting in their way.

4. Write a story where the hero and villain used to be close friends, lovers or even related.

5. Write a story about a world full of nothing but villain cliches.
