From Straw to Gold
Pick an 'ugly' object, and create a character who finds it very beautiful. Have the character describe the object in a way that convinces the reader of its beauty. Then write another version where you convince the reader- by just describing the object- that the character is mentally unstable.

Minuscule Rubik

They had originally gave it to my friend. who I assisted with in a children's hospital. A tiny Rubik cube for small hands. He gave it to me. It couldn't twist and turn the right ways fast enough and half of the stickers had worn off. Which made it impossible for you to really solve it. But the kids tried. I tried. And the best moment was when one of the children would be so excited and yell out and say I have a side. And even if the colors didn't all work out - it didn't matter. Because, he did that day, more than I have ever accomplished in my life. Self-determination is a huge thing I've fallen short of in the past few years. Seeing him, so proud and so determined. I hope to find that again one day. Dear child. you inspired me to always believe - no matter what adversary.
