Survivors on the Precipice

Narrate the experience of survivors standing on the edge of a ravine, contemplating whether survival in this ravaged world is a blessing or a curse.

This prompt requires an exploration of existential questions arising from extreme circumstances. What is survival worth, when the world one knew is gone? Is there hope in the heart of human beings, even when confronted with overwhelming destruction and despair? How do different survivors cope with these conditions? Get creative with your characters’ differing perspectives and coping mechanisms, and the crux of your story could lie in their decision on the precipice.
