Flashfiction -Photoprompt

We had made the campfire, cooked something to eat, and swapped yarns: the whole thing was quite festive.

The fire was dying down, so we lay down and looked up at the night sky, continuing our discussion about how Earth-like the planet was, complete with the rock shaped by wind and water.  The night-sky was both familiar and unfamiliar – we could still make out the Milky Way, but none of our familiar constellations.

As wreckage from our spaceship made shooting stars,  two questions were in everyone’s minds: How were we going to get home?  Did we want to?

#FlashFiction picture prompt

Ta da! It’s our first picture prompt here at FictionCanBeFun. No idea why it’s taken us so long to find one, it’s been on our To-Do list for ages …

Bearing in mind that November is often overwhelmed by NaNoWriMo, I’m going to keep the word count low this time.

 

Word count: 100-750
Deadline: 2pm on Friday 10th November 2017

 

Have fun! And let us know if you’d like more picture prompts.
