Cringe-Worthy

For five minutes, write about a memory that makes your character cringe whenever s/he thinks about it.

Scent Memory

Memories are often triggered by a familiar scent. For five minutes, write about a memory you (or your character) associate with a specific smell.

Dreams

Dreams let our minds run free which is why they can be great sources of inspiration for stories. For five minutes, write about a dream you had, putting in as many details as you can remember. Then, go over what you've written and mark any events or scenes from your dream that you might be able to use in a story.

I remember...

Many stories are inspired by memories. Starting with the phrase "I remember," write for five minutes about any memory that comes to your mind.
