Tragic food
Write a shopping list. Like a standard list of things available for purchase in a regular grocery store.
But the shopping list shouldn't be completely standard. It should give a sense of tragedy.
Variations
Are you done with your tragic shopping list? Then write a shopping list that breathes romance.
Want more suggestions? Write a comic shopping list.
Is three shopping lists not enough? Then write a shopping list that makes the reader smell adventure.
