WRITING OBSTACLE
Crackle. Pond. Night.
Write a description of a person or creature inspired by these three words. You may be as fantastical or realistic as you like. The words may inspire the description, or be used within it.
The Hunter
Asher never missed. His aim was always precise and steady. so as he crouched in a bush, the leaves scratching against him, he felt confidence burst through him. He would get her, and when he did, he would live like a king off of the money he was going to make.
A crackle sounded and Asher had his bow drawn in mere seconds. And then there she was. Her skin resembled a starry night sky, the black shining with small pinpoints of white stars as she moved. Her wings spread large and majestically around her, the same shade of black as her skin. And as the fairy knelt by a pond in front of her, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders, Asher saw his chance.
Only 30 fairies left, soon to be 29. He drew back his arm, a small smile on his lips as he took in the crouching fairy. And then.....he let his arrow fly.
Asher never missed.
I loved the amount of description in this! It’s always my favorite when certain scenes are set up and you did a wonderful job! I would have loved to know a little bit more of his anger or backstory coming from the fairies though. Other than that, fantastic job!
I read it twice to take in the full amount of jealousy I feel for your descriptive writing :) Awesome job on this! The fairy seems to get far more description than Asher does so I found myself making up a random person - we get Asher’s personality but very little of the fairy’s. Maybe this could be a bit more balanced? Some SDT on what the fairy must be like and some physical descriptions of Asher maybe? Regardless, I enjoyed this. Amara Licelly never misses either!
Thank you! And yeah I get what your saying.
