Today's prompt is from a misread tweet.
"A new Tazer from the Angels."
Since I misread someone's tweet in only seems fair that I link to their site since they were trying to promote either hard work. http://lindapoitevin.wordpress.com/
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 #72
I have been rather busy lately so the daily writing prompts have kind of turned into the 4 or 4 times a week writing prompts. I will try to do better, but life does sometimes get in the way.
Today's writing prompt is:
You can't go back. There is no going back, that is just the way it is. No one ever goes back.

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.

Daily writing Prompts #70
This is a prompt I suggested for part of a Galley Table topic. If you use this topic, keep your eyes on twitter / facebook /google + and come join us as we talk about this topic.
Humans have colonized 20 or so other planets. Faster than light travel has not been accomplished, and the planets are far enough apart that it take 20/30 years to get from on to the next. The last planet colonized sends a ship back to the other planets as a kind of cultural exchange. The plan is for the ship to make a loop, and come back to the last planet. The ship carries, unknown to the people on board, a disease that is killing the colonies it visits.

"System failure."
"Where?"
"Engines, life support, power systems, safety systems, automatic life pods, fire suppression systems, thruster control, waste management, environmental, shielding, hull integrity verification systems, navigation, communications, guidance and control,"
"Computer, give me a list of things that have not failed."
"This list might be lengthy do you wish to continue?"
"Yes."
"Hydraulics."
"Yup, that was a long list computer."
"Please repeat request."
