Weekly Prompt: Hungry for more?

Hi everyone. Sorry about not staying on top of writing prompts but hopefully we can get back into gear here. So this week, we'll be writing something short and sweet and hopefully something that everyone can sink their teeth into.

If you haven't heard yet there is this book series by Suzanne Collins called "The Hunger Games" which has recently been made into a blockbuster movie. But she's not the first person by a long shot to write dystopian novels. There is a rich history of dystopian writing going as far back as the invention of writing itself.

For this week's prompt we will be adding our own voices this this chorus of writing. For the sake of brevity let's keep it to a single page. You can do it in any format you like (story, poem, play, letter, etc) and from any perspective, though traditionally these are told in first person POV.

Common used tropes are police states as the central thematic element (1984, The Handmaiden's Tale, V for Vendetta, Hunger Games) or the loss of civilization (Riddley Walker, I Am Legend, The Last Man). Or if you're feeling up to a challenge, you could try to write one that didn't follow either of these.

Anyway, there it is. Prompt for the week. Have fun with it and bring it to the next meeting! :)

And may the odds be ever in your favor. ;)
