The fall creek archive had a prompt that made me flip my stance

I was digging through the Fall Creek library's old writing contest files last Tuesday and found a 1987 prompt about a character who only speaks in lies. It sounded gimmicky at first, but the winning entry used it to build this heartbreaking family drama that made me realize prompts can be constraints or keys. Has anyone else found a single weird prompt that completely changed how they approach writing exercises?

Wait, a character who only lies won a family drama contest? That's wild.
