If you're feeling spiteful or subversive, you could try genie-twisting the prompt to write something that _technically_ satisfies the prompt, but in an unconventional or unexpected way. [Example by maximum-overboner](https://maximum-overboner.tumblr.com/post/182296951846/in-primary-school-we-had-a-creative-writing): > in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying This example was for creative writing, but the same idea could be applied to essays and expository pieces of writing. Satire can be a valid approach to writing something.
