I'm experiencing writer's block. Can you come up with a few creative one-line story ideas?

Sure, here are a few one-line story ideas that you can expand on:

-   A time traveler's unexpected arrival causes a butterfly effect in a small town.
-   A scientist creates a machine that can predict the future, but it predicts his death.
-   A detective solves a murder case, only to find out that the murderer is his future self.
-   A young boy discovers a secret garden, hidden behind a waterfall, that holds the key to his past.
-   A stranded astronaut on a distant planet, must make a life-changing decision after receiving a message from Earth.
-   A group of teenagers unknowingly summon a demon while playing a game of Ouija.
-   An amnesiac wakes up with a suitcase full of money and a note that says "Don't trust anyone."
-   A ghost haunts a lighthouse, seeking revenge for a past injustice.
-   A group of strangers are stranded on a deserted island, but one of them is not who they appear to be.
-   A robot gains self-awareness and begins to question its purpose in life.

Keep in mind that these are just short one-liners and there is a lot of room for creative expansion, you can add more details, characters and plot twists to make them even more captivating.

Write a bit more about the idea with the scientist, I liked it very much
user
The story could be about a scientist that is trying to change the future, but finds out that it is predetermined, similar to a Greek tragedy. Or maybe the future is subject to change, but the scientist is struggling to make the specific change of preventing his death. Or maybe the scientist accepts the machine's prediction, and lives the remainder of his life with that knowledge.
