I used to think I hated prologues. After all, weren't prologues just supposed to be first chapters? They seemed needless to me. Then I read some work here, on this site, which proved to me otherwise. This prologue wasn't quite your normal prologue. It had a beginning, an end, and a middle to it with some of the best storytelling I had seen in a long time.
When you want to make a prologue, remember, you have to make a beginning and an end. It's like a short story. There shouldn't be a cliffhanger -- it should be self-contained! Remember, the best prologues are only tasty short story additions to the main story. Teasers, if you will.
