WRITING OBSTACLE

In a country where it’s always daytime, a character travels in search of the anonymity that darkness offers.

Write a story about this traveler and their motivations.

Search Dark

Everything is always seen. Always together. Always exposed.

Nothing can ever be hidden — not from the sun, with its rays of isolation and relentless visibility.

Escape is never an option. That is the reality of a world where it can only be light — and never, ever dark.


That is, until someone is pushed past the edge of reality.

When one is broken by something, they crave its opposite. Jonah craved darkness.


That craving became a mission — a mission for escape, for freedom, for identity.

In a world with no privacy, that was Jonah’s revealing secret.


He wasn’t searching for light at the end of the tunnel.

He was searching for the dark.


As a scientist, he understood the futility of a searchlight.

But as a dreamer, he needed to define the meaning of a searchdark.
