Today's prompt is kind of a tried a true Sci Trope with a bit of a twist.
You are alone on an alien planet. Tell us the story of how you got there.
These prompts are part of our Tuesday Fiction Contest. For more information Check out the rules and of course visit Flying Island Press

Daily writing Prompts #71
Today's prompt is another setup, so here is the idea.
The planet is at war. The technology being used in the war is going to wipe out both sides, life, technology, everything. In other words, if there are any survivors it will basically be a civilization reboot. In order to preserve the race as a whole, one or both sides have created "Time capsules" with hibernating people, and technology. This / these time capsule(s) get(s) lost for a very long time, much longer than was necessary to wait for the effects of whatever weapons used did to the planet to wear off. When they do awaken, things are very different, but they have not changed.
