Plot Generators

I've always loved plot generators. I use to buy books full of writing prompts and exercises just to encourage me to write creatively (before the internet hah). Lately I've been using this website and so far it has come up with some great plots and one lined subjects. For the one-lined prompts I usually give myself a time limit of 10 to 20 minutes to help hone quick thoughts of creativity. For the plot-based generators I usually give myself a word count to reach - usually between 2500 and 5000 words to encourage me to work on my details and keep a story interesting even if I'm uninterested. Here is my latest generated plot;

A selfish 20 year-old woman 
A sensitive 40 year-old man 
The story begins in a cemetery 
Something precious has been lost 
It's a story about memories 
The main character has to make a lot of changes 

So I guess I'll get started on that now.
