They called it the Suit. No one knew where it had originated, but it had become the pride and joy of the military, and those who piloted it were heroes. All Carol ever aspired to was to humbly clean the Suit, but she found herself ensnared in more than she ever imagined.

“Now that you’ve built a nice background, what happens next?” –Hallucion
When you first posted your response to the prompt, I was hoping it would turn into a full story. I’m looking forward to reading what happens next.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but if you end up writing and publishing a novel based on a prompt from r/writingprompts you can announce it on the sub and the mods will pin your post at the top for a day or two. I’ve seen it happen a few times, and they often get a fair bit of interest/attention, if that’s something you might be interested in.

Thank you, but I haven’t been on reddit in the past several months for … reasons (confession: I don’t want to know what other people are up to because I’m one of those sensitive writer sorts and it’s been a bad year).
But anyway, in the time since I’ve written The Scion Suit, I’ve decided that I really want to expand it and add a second part to flesh it out into a full-length novel, so maybe after I’ve done that and published it, I’ll do as you’ve suggested.
