Prompt suggested by: Reubenna Dutta

What does it mean to come back to life?

It doesn’t have to be literal. It could be emotional, relational, creative, or even moral.

Maybe someone rebuilds their life after a loss they never thought they’d survive.
Maybe a relationship finds its way back after years of silence.
Maybe a person becomes unrecognisable from who they once were, and has to decide which version is truly alive.
Or perhaps, something long buried refuses to stay dead.

Let your characters confront what it means to begin again, not as who they were, but as who they’ve become.
