I'm trying to finish three half-drafted pieces (consequence of a scattered workflow amid the local celebrations).
Brain's all over the place, though, so here's a wee activity I sometimes do to sharpen my mind again: drabble challenges!
I need four things:
1) an unusual word (but not too long, for character count reasons);
2) a location (anywhere in time & space);
3) a tone for the story; &
4) a missing item (literal or figurative).
If you'd be so kind, I'll write you a wee toot of a tale. :)
@MLClark 1) gala, 2) Seoul, South Korea in 2123, 3) suspenseful, 4) jewel
Lee's "Dream of Union" had opened too soon, she was sure of it.
Even at 110, Seoul's MMCA boasted cutting-edge art, but was it enough?
"Hey," said Kim. "Not your fault the treaty's delayed. But events like this keep hope alive, right?"
Lee surveyed her garden exhibit: the gem of the gala. In it, Southern & Northern diplomats eyed each other, but still wandered the peace flowers, waiting to pick & speak forgiveness through one.
And any minute now, they would.
Any minute, surely.
@MLClark This is lovely!
