People love symmetry because it feels right having things match up. You have a superhero, but also a supervillain. You start your story on a bus and end it on a bus. You have two main characters, one very rich and one very poor.
There are lots of ways to have symmetry or mirror elements in your story, but usually there are two things that are similar except in one aspect. This could be in setting or characters or themes. Right now I’m reading The Borrowers, by Mary Norton, where there is a friendship between a boy and a girl. They are about the same age but one is tiny and the other huge (relatively).
Story Prompt: February 10, 2025
Write a story with a mirror or symmetrical element
If you want inspiration, here is a story I wrote in the past with this idea:
Two Beginnings – Two boys share a room with vastly different perspectives
If you have a story like this you want to share or if you write one please let me know. You can send me a link to your story on your own site, either in the comments or at info@greenwalledtreehouse.com. You can also submit your story here for a chance to have it published on the site next week.
Have a great week!

Lovely. This is a very unique prompt. I shall have to try.

Challenging for sure, David. Lovely image. BTW I could not comment directly onto your site page. Something weird is going on with WP yet again.

Couldn’t either, yet could reply to you. WordPress tossing another curve.
