All my prompts this month for Monday Sparks deal with characters. When I was looking at photos for this prompt, this one leaped out at me. The two figures inspire so many questions. So my prompt today is to write a backstory for these characters.
What is the relationship between the little girl and the robot? The obvious one is that the robot protects the little girl. But what if we flipped it? What if the robot protects the girl only until someone tries to rescue her. Then it is programmed to kill her before that happens, Why?
Or maybe the girl belongs to a family that is protecting the robot. It stores the last program to fix a computer virus. And certain governments are after it.
Let me know how you’re inspired in the comments!
