Radios in the Rubble

Write about a group of survivors who discover a working radio and hear a broadcast indicating there are other survivors out there.

While a post-apocalyptic world is often depicted as desolate and lonely, the discovery of other survivors can breed both hope and fear. Themes to explore include the characters’ surprise and excitement, the potential power dynamics that might be introduced, and the psychological implications of not being alone anymore. This prompt will also allow a writer to play with the suspense and uncertainty of the unknown.
