Today's prompt is a setting with a few people, but mostly a setting.
The crew stood on the barren rock and looked around. There was nothing there but rock as far as they eye could see. No green, no blue, no nothing, but gray rock, and even grayer sand. The only thing that broke up the landscape, other than them, was the hulk of ship that used to be theirs.
These prompts are part of our Tuesday Fiction Contest. For more information Check out the rules and of course visit Flying Island Press

Galley Table 48 - Pirate Takeover - Fiction Tuesday
Last week, the Pirate's took over the Galley Table to give four authors a chance to play with a couple of the writing prompts. I am hoping we will get some stories from them out of this. In the mean time if you would like to hear what got flushed out during the discussion...
This episode The Pirate Captain (AKA Jeff Hite) (AKA Capt. Jack Smiley) hires some mercenaries and they take over the galley table.

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.
