Literature Prompt #1, Jeff VanderMeers Annihilation

Literature Prompt #1, Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation

“We all live in a kind of continuous dream,” I told him. “When we wake, it is because something, some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we’ve taken as reality.”― Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation

Write about an event which disturbs your protagonist’s idea of reality. What happens? Do they change or hold on to the illusion? Or do they go mad?

Fanfic Crossovers I Would Love to Read

If anyone knows of these or writes one of them, please send a link!

-SCP Foundation/Addams Family (That could go so many different ways!)

-Lost in Space/No Man's Sky (I've toyed with this one, but don't have time to write it)

-Chronicles of Narnia/The Elder Scrolls (This one might exist somewhere, but if a good one does, I haven't come across it)

-The Hunger Games/Monster Hunter (Takes the muttations concept to a whole new level; alternatively, what if Katniss was a monster hunter instead of a Hunger Games contestant?)
