Frozen Solitude

Create a narrative about an explorer who gets lost during a polar expedition and must rely on their survival skills to survive.

With this prompt, not only will you delve into the physical aspects of survival – shelter, food, warmth – but also the psychological effects of solitude and desolation inherit to the polar regions. How does the explorer cope mentally? How do they maintain hope and perseverance? Potential sub-themes like past life recollections, hallucinations, or self-discovery can be integrated to deepen your character’s journey.
