Deciding the Short Story Prompt for November 2024
- Across an Ocean 5
- System on Mars 20
- Immortal No-One 11
- Tiny Dungeon 23
Below are the full prompts as the poll doesn't allow the full text. In the case of ties the first option that got there wins. The short story will be finished by the end of the month.
A flight across an ocean. Fantastic in nature. A couple fleeing from trouble back home. To supposed green pastures ahead. The sky whale they have taken passage on is attacked by pirates mid journey. The pirates fly using giant white ravens as mounts.
The System, created by a now extinct civilization, arrives on earth. Well, not earth exactly, but the solar system as a whole. The only problem is the arrival message [Apocalypse System Loading. Welcome <Mars>. In 49 hours and 20 minutes, monsters will appear. No memory of technology detect, no restrictions applied. Good Luck]. Then right on the dot, a dragon is filmed suffocating by a rover. And on Earth? Nothing.
Immortal No-One: I swore my life to a god, bargained my soul to a devil, traded my name to a fae and sold my memories to an Eldritch. I should be dead but now nothing remains for death to collect and I just am, without a name, soul life or even memories. I do not know who or what I am, but I am and for some reason I can not not be.
Tiny Dungeon: The newborn Dungeon is finally ready to open the gates for its first adventurers to delve it. However it may have slightly underestimated the scale it was supposed to build at by quite the margin.
