Weekly Writing Prompt #39
Every Monday morning I send out a prompt for subscribers to use to write a story. If you do write something using this prompt, I’d love to read it. Drop a link to your writing in the comments—or, hey! If it’s short enough, drop your whole story in the comments!
Prompt:
A retired detective-turned-museum-guide accidentally ends up at the middle of a potential war on one of Saturn’s moons. Two factions of humans inhabit the moon: Fundamentalists, who believe human expansion should end with the explored solar system; versus Manifestors, who believe the entire galaxy should be colonized. They’ve lived in uneasy peace until the leaders of each faction turn up dead on the same night, and the tensions start to boil over. Can the detective find the real culprit before the two factions begin a civil war?
