Random Ideas for a Novella or Short Story?

For years I've wanted to write a dark fantasy epic, but I started when I had no idea how to write and I bit off way more than I could chew. I've ben trying smaller, but still large projects ever since. Because many published writers suggest starting small to gain skill, I thought I'd give it a try. To make a long story short so to speak, I'd like to get a few random ideas for a short story from anyone who would like to share any. I don't care how wierd, nonsensicle, or unrelated they are, I'll try anything out. Thanks.

Be careful when asking people for preliminary ideas. They might ask to share the credit.

In seriousness, just google "creative writing prompts". There are a million lists.

Mind if I take a crack at it? Let's see here...if you're out to make some fantasy, then I'll try to keep my ideas tangentially related. Sooooooooooo...

• A young girl must escape from a cult before she's sacrificed to their god.
• A disease starts to sweep through a country, and a small group of survivors must figure out how to stop it.
• A researcher goes on an expedition to find remnants of an ancient civilization...and finds something beyond belief.
• A princess is cursed, and starts transforming into a dragon.
• Fairies — having grown weary of humans infringing their rights and territory — launch an assault on the populace.
• A warrior-king must prove himself to his people the only way he knows how: by killing a god.
• The world begins to fall apart, and the only way to stop it is to have the populace believe in the gods once more.
• A knight is abducted by a giant after a brutal battle, and must find a way to escape and rejoin his family.

Those are just a few things that I have on the top of my head. Hope they can help you out...and if all else fails, then write about superheroes. They're always cool.
