Prompt 331-Space Trip

If you could travel to outer space would you and what would you hope to get out of the experience? As a child, Todd had often stared up at the stars with Jack, idly wondering about interstellar travel and alien civilizations. Together, they dreamed of flying beyond the sun, to visiting these hypothetical far off … Continue reading Prompt 331-Space Trip →

Prompt 322-Opportunity

If given an opportunity is there anything you wouldn’t do? My eyes struggled to open under the bright fluorescents. My head ached from the blow that had knocked me out to bring me here. Where was here? The room seemed to be nothing but light; no windows, no door. Just four walls, a table and … Continue reading Prompt 322-Opportunity →

Prompt 317-Hope

What gives you hope and why? The unfinished Dome was a dead end. That was what Shane believed right up until that Hero appeared. Of course, it wasn’t the short gunslinger who had caught Shane’s attention. It was his companion, the woman who had whispered his name before recklessly placing herself in the line of … Continue reading Prompt 317-Hope →

Prompt 305-My TV Life

What TV show, past or present, do you wish your life was like? This is simultaneously too easy and too hard. Easy in that I will obviously pick an animated fantasy series, but difficult in picking which one. A world where the supernatural and fantastic are commonplace. Or maybe a future world where people live … Continue reading Prompt 305-My TV Life →

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. The smoke from the wrecked transport still billowed black against … Continue reading Prompt 298-Deserving →

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. His arms hugged his knees tightly to his chest as he watched Earth spinning tens of thousand of miles below, her colors not as vibrant as they once had been. The … Continue reading Prompt 297-Comfort Object →

Prompt 291-Reinvent Your Life

If you had to do it all over again, how would you reinvent your life? The pain faded with the light and I blinked in total darkness. I used to roll my eyes whenever someone would say it was so dark they couldn’t see their own hand in front of their face, but I truly … Continue reading Prompt 291-Reinvent Your Life →

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. They were prone to outbursts of anger or sadness or joy in varying degrees, all far more intense than any of the other planets the Mosari had conquered in the Expansion. It was … Continue reading Prompt 281-Emotional →

Prompt 279-Utopia

Describe your idea of a utopia. The Domes were the answer to humanity’s salvation after the Last War. Initially constructed as test colonies for space exploration, they were built all over the world in as many climates as they could experiment in. At the outset of the war, there were only a couple dozen. They … Continue reading Prompt 279-Utopia →

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. He knew they would provide his body the tools it needed to rebuild him from the inside, but they tasted awful. What he wouldn’t give for a real meal. Like a greasy cheeseburger … Continue reading Prompt 278-Facial Hair →
