Do you follow your gut instincts and if so are they usually right? Thunder echoed in the distance at steady intervals.

Prompt 298-Deserving

What is something you deserve but do not currently have? Todd stumbled along the narrow rocky path, bracing himself against the stone wall of the ravine. His right arm dangled uselessly between him and the wall. He risked a glance up the trail behind him.

Prompt 297-Comfort Object

Did you have a “lovey” as a child? Do you still have one? Jack gazed out the viewscreen of the wall opposite his bed.

Prompt 281-Emotional

Have you ever met someone who expressed emotion in an over-the-top way? The humans, as a whole, were a very excitable species.

Prompt 278-Facial Hair

Do you like or have facial hair? Todd grimaced at the tray of processed nutrient bars and protein supplements disguised as pudding.

Prompt 259-Family

Why are families important? What do families provide that we cannot find on our own?

Prompt 240-Generation Gap

What do you think the biggest cultural differences are between your generation and your parents’ generation? Todd found Fae on the surface of their headquarters staring up at the night sky.

Prompt 233-Priority

What is a priority for you right now? Muffled voices broke through the fog in Todd’s head as he tried opening his eyes. His head throbbed with pain, almost as if he were upside down.

Prompt 205-Admirable Trait

What is a personality trait you admire in other people? Faelurion spent the next several days in the medical wing monitoring Todd’s status, waiting for him to awaken.
