Writing Prompt: Designing My Own Lair




This writing prompt got me really excited. I already had a whirlwind of ideas starting to form in my head.

If I was to have my own secret lair, I would put a huge chunk of time into designing it. First, it would have to be big - I mean big enough to fit all the things I want in there of course. I would want to be able to fit a flat screen TV with a decked out entertainment system, a huge king size bed, a walk-in closet and a bathroom. Oh and of course a fridge and microwave, I can not forget about a food source. I would paint the whole room a monochromatic purple only changing the shades and then adding in some intricate designs afterwards. Around the whole perimeter I would hang up a bunch of sparkling star lights, to make it look like the night sky. I would place a set of black and white couches in the center of the room, in front of the flat screen TV. Along with a nice dark brown coffee table, some beanbag chairs and a ton of extra fluffy pillows. On one wall, it would have a humongous window, that shines sunlight throughout the day. Along with that would be a comfy window seat where I can play my guitar and write songs. The entertainment system would have high definition speakers, a gaming center with a Wii, a PlayStation and a Xbox, and a huge library with all the movies I can imagine. Along one of the walls, I would have a personal collage with a bunch of photos, frames and little trinkets. On another wall, I would have a row of different guitars all on display. In one section of the room I would have a pool table, an air hockey table and some old, classic arcade systems. I would make sure that this special lair would be decked out with a bunch of things I like and enjoy doing. Things that would make this room amazing beyond belief. 

I typically would use this secret lair as a hangout spot. It would defeat the purpose of it being a secret but it still could be considered my secret lair when I go there to have alone time. I would definitely want a place like this. One where I could make the decisions on how it would look like, one where I can spend private time or spend hangout time, and one that is perfected to my liking.
