writing: A creative writing exercise

Sometimes I have ideas rattling around my head and they keep tickling me, but they won't quite come out. So here's one thing I do. I take some brief ideas. The ones set out below came from the sentences I was recording on Vocal ID tonight. As I was recording them I was wondering if people ever said most of those sentences, which made me think about context, so I've taken some to act as prompts (thanks Vocal ID). These ideas are supposed to be pretty general, so they can lead off in many directions, but they were ones that grabbed my fancy while my mind was being tickled by a particular thing so I suspect they may be more amendable to that thing... If that makes sense. Anyway, you take six prompts.  Here are mine: No one else can help me. I should have asked him in. He looked so wistful as he went away. I know a story. I will not grant your wish. Now go and do not seek me again. See what I mean? You're not likely to say most of those are you? Right,
