Here are some unconventional creative writing prompts that might spark something different:
The Mundane Made Strange:

Write about a world where gravity works in reverse for exactly 7 minutes every Tuesday at 3:47 PM
A character discovers their shadow has been filing complaints about their life choices
The last remaining pay phone in your city starts calling people back

Perspective Shifts:

Tell a love story from the perspective of the couple's shared Netflix account
Write about a war as experienced by the buttons on soldiers' uniforms
A retirement home for retired fictional characters where Hamlet works in maintenance

Time/Reality Bends:

Every time someone lies, they age one day. Every truth makes them one day younger
A person who can only exist in the spaces between seconds
Write about the day all the clocks in the world gained consciousness

Emotional Landscapes:

A city where the architecture changes based on the collective mood of its inhabitants
Someone who collects the last words of dying languages
A character who inherits their grandmother's ability to taste colors, but only sad ones

Identity Puzzles:

Write from the POV of someone slowly realizing they're the antagonist in someone else's story
A support group for people who've been replaced by their evil twins
The autobiography of a background character who keeps showing up in other people's pivotal moments

What kind of tone or genre appeals to you most? I could push any of these directions further.
