Prompts
- In 1976, Rameses the Great became the first Pharaoh to fly when his body was flown to France for Conservation. Write a story entitled "Mummies on a Plane."
- In 1983, a Soviet officer named Stanislav Petrov refused to believe his malfunctioning computer which was telling him the US had launched nuclear missiles at the USSR. His bosses tried to make him a scapegoat for the false alarm when he had in fact saved millions of lives. Your character is getting a severe and dire warning about something - but refuses to believe it. Are they right or wrong? What happens next?
- In 1991, four men and four women were sealed inside Biosphere II, as an experimental project intended to mimic the isolation of future space colonies. Write a story about a group of people taking part in a similar experiment. You can explore their relationships with each other and/or how they cope with being cut off from their previous lives, and/or tell of how they emerge exactly two years later and find the Earth has changed completely while they've been in there; or they fail to emerge, and someone has to go in and find out what happened to them.
- "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each; I do not think that they will sing to me." TS Eliot
-
