Sometimes, in the rush of paying bills and working, it's easy to forget that we are surviving. Enduring.
Since August is traditionally the month of Hollywood action films, let's take a look at survival from several different perspectives, from sudden danger to an emotional crisis. There are often moments left out of those rush-rush-rush action films, too, especially the emotional regrouping or adjustments to the hero's perceptions.
Let's explore the theme of survival in large and small ways. The following list is divided into: dangers, reactions, moments and consequences. The list is designed to be customized, to help you generate the perfect bingo card. I've created a public card as well, with what I hope is a decent mix of the categories.
There are no minimum word counts set. There are no exclusions or special criteria. Little moments can slip into other stories, enriching them. That's only one kind of inspiration; I hope each player uses the prompts and their card to add a bit of challenge and a lot of enjoyment to their own writing.

The list:
Dangers:
sudden threat, hidden danger, natural disaster, accident, coincidence, illness, lifestyle choice, poor decision, blind risk,
Reactions:
shock, loneliness, fear, horror, paranoia, grief, jubilation, excitement, thrill, pride, vindication, relief, sadness, weakness, triumph, hope,
Moments:
Introspection, gathering courage, perspective, insight, angst, bonding,
Consequences:
lifestyle change, maturing, loss, discovery, stability, forged bonds, regression, achievement, personal growth, disability, brass ring,
The card:

Date: 2016-08-02 06:45 pm (UTC)JSYK, there are special codes to make < and > characters appear as themselves in HTML, instead of being parsed as parts of tags. Those are < for "less than" (<), and > for "greater than" (>). So, writing:
<textarea>
will show up in your comment as
<textarea>
–no asterisks required. :D
(If you're wondering how I got the code for that to show up in the comment... &, for ampersand, makes an & character, which won't be parsed as part of a special HTML character. It's turtles all the way down ^^.)
