Barren: Weekly Prompt 27

There’s a beauty in barren land.

But, there are plenty of downsides too.

This week’s promo is for the downside.

Your character was having a good ol’ time. Nothing was amiss, everything was finally working perfectly. Maybe they were on a cruise and it crashes, maybe they’re a cargo pilot and their plane goes down in the middle of the desert. Whatever was happening, it wasn’t something that was life or death.

That is, it wasn’t life or death until it was.

Tell me a story about what your character does when everything goes down the drain and who knows how many people are going to die in the process. (Hey, I write military sci-fi, people always die in that. Lol)

You’re free to use this prompt however you like! 🙂
