Reflections on the Ice

Write a story from the perspective of a hibernating animal.

Winter is a time of survival for many species and in this prompt, you’re invited to step into the paws, claws, or wings of a hibernating animal. Tell a story of how the animal navigates through winter’s ice and frost, while taking a long winter’s nap. You might explore how the creature prepares for this period, their dreams of spring, or the intruders they encounter in their hibernation abode.
