Challenge
Page 1, Scene 1: Setting and Mood
I thought I'd try something different with this challenge. This time I'm not giving you an exact subject or topic. This is more of an exercise in freestyle creative writing.
FIRST - Pick a setting, it can be any place... a bar, a concert, a graveyard, inside a car on a trip, some otherworldly place, etc.
SECOND - Decide on a mood for your setting... is there a party going on, a funeral taking place, a monster waiting in the dark, a desperate crew lost in space, etc.
Now, describe to me your setting and make me feel the mood in less than 250 words.
Tag me in the comments. Thanks,
In the Eyes of the Scoundrel
He wrote his name
in cursive...
because he thought
it sounded good
...the clawing
from the underside
of the wood...
left the right impression
or at least,
the one he felt it should;
Humanity might be proud
...to speak no condolences aloud,
they could surely bury
their differences now
...with the hatchet that
hung prominently
just above his neck
... a symbol like
of aborted motherhood,
that thinks of others,
more seldom than one should;
The view lifted as in a veil
to the underworld...
he was bad this he knew,
a bother, even...
in this silence
beneath his due;
here where he would leave
in the negative...
his causal, final,
I love you;
... he fell smug
in the open dirt
seeing the whole,
as very full
