Prompt #1: Descriptive Details

Pick one of the following:

1. Describe a barn as seen by an old woman whose disgusting and detestable old husband has just died. Do not mention the husband or death.

2. Describe a lake as seen by a child whose brother has just been born. Do not mention the brother, the birth, or the child's mother.

3. Describe a landscape as seen by a bird. Do not mention the bird.

Follow these leads wherever they take you, remembering to pay close attention to sensory detail (nouns and verbs in particular).
