I love writing and I can be creative but i have a hard time coming up with plots. Any realistic fiction prompts? Feel free to be as detailed as you want or just give a very simple prompt. They can be a story prompt or a dialogue prompt. Thank you for any contributions!!!

A man named Jim wanders with heavy bones into the local bar one night under the dark of 11:30 rain clouds. The door moans as its opened, the red paint on the wooden chairs is peeling, the neon signs above the bar buzz on and off with a dull blue light. The bartender with a towel over his shoulder looks up from wiping glasses greets him, "Hey there Jimmy, welcome back."
The regulars at the bar are haggered but humble people with wrinkled second hand clothes and tired sunken eyes, they look up at him and smile "'Evening Jim. " they say.
Jim's car had broken down 4 miles away. He came there to use the phone. He has never been to this city before.

Wow! Reading this got my mind rolling because of the detail. The ending had me shook. Thank you!

Here's 1, off the top of my head:

An annual festival begins in the depths of the swamp, and so does amusement. Shrek and his family (Fiona, and children) as well as Donkey (that dude) wander around to enjoy the festivities. For the first time in Shrek's life, he is ultimately satisfied, but notices that Donkey is less talkative than usual. As dusk draws near, shrek manages to lure Donkey away from the crowds, and his family, to ask him why he's so quiet. Donkey responds carefully.

"Well Shrek," he sighs, "You- you know… I have a lot on my mind right now. That's all,"

"You can tell me," urges Shrek. Donkey pauses.

"I'm in love with you, Shrek," gasps Donkey.

Shrek is appalled– and now… his life is turned upside down.
