Prompt for April 7, 2014 – Day 97

Another Monday.  Five days until we hit the glorious thing that is the weekend.

I actually had a fairly productive weekend–I finished the handwritten edits on The Measure of Dreams and got struck in the side of the head for a short story in the UNSETIC universe.  Hopefully, folks will like both when I unleash them on the world.

In the meantime, I’ll keep everyone busy with a prompt.

Prompt Type:  Quotation

Prompt:  Write a scene inspired by the following quote. It could be set in the time period when the quote was spoken, could involve the quote itself, or could simply be inspired by the theme of the quote.

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”

 — Frank Herbert

Prompt:  The ice wastes are the most inhospitable habitat in the world, but somehow the tribes living there had done more than just cling to life there–they had thrived and now they had returned to the southlands to reclaim what had once been theirs.
