Since we're at number 13 let's do something a little dark...but not only a little.
Only The Good Die Young
Write a fragment of fiction about a character who thinks s/he is dead but is not dead. Don’t dwell on the wounds or sudden illness that has made this person mistakenly think they are dead. Imagine what someone might think under these circumstances. Would their life flash before their eyes? Or would they focus or even obsess over some small detail, like they had not fed the dogs before they left the apartment? (to be clear, this character doesn't actually have to be young.)
