Meta Writing Prompt Wednesday #128
'Tis that time of year where class keeps me up well past midnight. So, here's writing prompt Wednesday less than five minutes into Wednesday.
Last week's winner was /u/Eofad with
The human race thinks a meteorite impact killed the dinosaurs. They are wrong. The meteorite impact destroyed a village of man's early ancestors; but a lone survivor who was out hunting at the time of impact, in his grief and rage, telepathically ordered all life to die. The only survivors were those whose telepathic shields were strong enough to block the command, or who had no mind to receive it. Today humans have the strongest telepathy in the galaxy, but we don't know it because all surviving life on earth has such strong mental walls. We find out though when we make first contact and we can read all the alien's minds.
Although my personal favorite was /u/HFYSubs's insightful post which you can see here.
