The Basement Office presents Prompt and response #2 – the prompt

Posted by Frank Cote on February 21, 2011

It’s monday again, and though I have the day off, it’s still time for this week’s Prompt and Response!

Brought to you by my iPhone Story Seed Generator application!

This week’s prompt (#2) is:

Main Character: A noble genetic engineer with a pair of small spectacles

Setting: The middle ages, in Mexico (it says Mexico City, but to be honest, I don’t know that Mexico city existed then)

The Story is about: What happens when humans trespass upon secrets best left buried

Oooooh.  This should be fun!  As stated before, I’m committing to have 1000 words (or more) using this prompt, by Sunday.  Fellow writers, feel free to write along with me and I’ll put up your results as well!  Feel free to comment, suggest or complain, whatever the case may be!
