Writer’s Prompt: Stealing from Wall Street, Giving to Main Street: Robin Hood Wears Heels Now

Spread the love


Move over, men in tights—this modern-day Robin Hood rocks combat boots, volunteers at a women’s shelter, and has a better aim with a keyboard than you ever had with a longbow. Meet a fearless, modern-day female Robin Hood who spends her days helping survivors and her nights hacking the rich. This fiction prompt challenges you to explore justice, ethics, and vengeance with a vigilante twist.

🖋 

Starting Paragraph:

By day, Leila blends into the beige walls of the shelter—organizing donations, offering quiet comfort, and escorting women away from danger. By night, she becomes a ghost in the machine, draining crypto wallets of corrupt billionaires and anonymously dropping fat stacks into emergency funds, food banks, and eviction defense groups. The city calls her a myth. The rich call her a threat. The women she helps? They call her hope.

3 Thought-Provoking Questions:

  1. What are the moral lines your modern-day Robin Hood refuses to cross—and which ones does she gleefully leap over?
  2. If society won’t protect the vulnerable, is it wrong to take justice into your own hands?
  3. Would you root for her if she stole from someone you know—someone who’s rich but not evil?
