🔀 Cycle Stories

Stories that start and end in the same place—emotionally, physically, or symbolically—showing transformation through repetition. Great for introspective or myth-inspired tales.

📝 Challenges:

  1. 🏡 Return to a childhood home with new eyes.

  2. 🔁 Use a repeated line or image to open and close.

  3. 🔄 Reverse the opening scene at the end.

  4. 👁️ Show how the world remains the same—but the character doesn’t.

  5. 🛶 Mirror a mythic journey (e.g., The Odyssey).
