Idea You Can Steal 40: “I’m going to find myself some treasure!”


I don’t know about you all, but I don’t mind rain. In the summer, I look forward to it. Maybe because it’s a chance to cool down, or maybe because it washes the air clean. After what 2020 has been and still is, cleaning the air sounds nice.

Here’s a story idea for you to work on the next time you’re waiting out a rainstorm.


Townspeople regard their resident hobo as crazy yet relatively harmless. The hobo disappears one day, saying she’s going off to find some treasure she was always talking about. What is this treasure? What were some of the stories the hobo told about it? A week or so later, a few of the hobo’s friends start looking for her, wondering what became of her. As the friends follow the hobo’s trail, they realize that the hobo might not be so crazy after all, and there’s more truth to the treasure and the rumors surrounding it than anyone believed.
