Back in the day, I took part in an add-a-chapter story board. And on the way to Japan, my friends and I wrote a story, each of us writing one sentence at a time. I thought it would be fun to write a story in Japanese piecemeal like that! You can make your part as long as short, as complicated or simple as you'd like. Just put Romaji and put in white the English translation.
「ない！落としちゃったかな？」と雪は言いました。
「なにを？」とひろこは返事しました。
｢お母さんにもらった大切な物よ。見つけないと･･･。」雪の心配は顔に明らかに見えました。
｢落ち着いてね。私も一緒に探すから。」
二人は出かけました。
"Nai! Otoshichatta ka na?" to yuki ha iimashita.
"Nani wo?" to hiroko ha henjishimashita.
"Okaasan ni moratta taisetsuna mono yo. Mitsukenai to..." Yuki no shinpai ha kao ni akirakani miemashita.
"Ochitsuitene. Watashi mo issho ni sagasu kara."
Futari ha dekakemashita.
"It's gone! Did I drop it somewhere?" Yuki said.
"What?" Hiroko replied.
"The keepsake I got from Mom. If I don't find it..." Yuki's worry was plainly visible on his face.
"Calm down. I'll search for it with you, after all."
The two of them left.
...What do you guys think? Good prompt?

I haven't read any Japanese literature really at all, but is the -masu forms really supposed to be used here? Just a question.

Hmm... Not sure exactly. I guess the "de aru" form might be more literary... but I'm honestly not sure.
