Prompt #6: More Setting

...Write a scene using a setting from the book you're reading, but significantly alter the time. Could be a hundred years after the events of the story you're reading; could be thirty years before. Whatever. You don't have to use the same characters or pick up the same narrative threads (in fact, I encourage you to invent new ones). Just borrow the place and imagine the ways it would A) change and B) stay the same.

...Create a setting for one of the following and furnish a place with his/her character -- you create the character through observation of the setting. The place can be any kind of locale -- house, a specific room in a house, an outdoor grounds, an office, a cell, even a bed. The catch? You have to evoke this character just through the place -- they're not even there. The description must incorporate enough characteristic things so that the reader can visualize the absentee dweller accurately. Resist stereotypes with every fiber of your being.

Pick one:

• An unsuccessful painter
• A former movie star who still thinks she's famous
• A high-school senior about to flunk out
• A blind person
• A supermarket check-out woman who just won the state lottery
• A paranoid person
• A fugitive

...Write a scene that takes place on the moon.
