Hope Springs Eternal 1/4

Writing Prompt: The Flood

Rising Tides in London by Zane Dickens (and Midjourney)*

Here’s our first prompt for September for Hope Springs Eternal

Remember this is a crossover collab month with The Dystopian Project founded by Jann a writer at Microcosm and a 100 Story Challenger.

The Second Flood Comes

It is the year 2029 and the effects of climate change are becoming more and more evident.

The polar ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, and extreme weather conditions are becoming more common.

In the midst of all this, the world is dealing with a massive flooding event.

The floodwaters have inundated cities, towns, and villages, displacing millions of people.

The survivors are struggling to find food and clean water, and many are succumbing to disease.

Do we march toward Utopia or Dystopia?

  1. If you're an optimist write with us for we welcome your brave soul.
  2. If you're pulled toward the dark cliff of pessimism then share here:

Or if you’re really brave: write both sides and link them together.

Rules:

  1. 100–1000 words for the story bits.
  2. Tag your story as you like, e.g. Fiction or Flash Fiction But don’t use Writing Prompts please.
  3. 🙏 link back to the prompt so others can find it too.

New here? Here’s how to write with us.

What if we could redesign fiction?

*Curious about how I get Midjourney to do this. I'm collecting my prompt experiments for images like this as well as concept art for stories. Let me know if you’re interested.
