WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a story using strong imagery representing the passage of time during a scene.
Here you could utilise typical time-based imagery, like ticking clocks, the changing colour of leaves etc, or you could create some interesting metatphors of your own.
Thirsty
I held out my cup
For a drink
From the fountain of youth
And watched
As the water
Flowed over the sides
I could see
My reflection
Peek up from the pool
Waiting
For a change
To appear in my eyes
Somehow
I had thought
That the curse of old age
Could be cured
With a sip
From a fountain’s clear pour
But the fog
Faded fast
It was all a mirage
That left me
More thirsty
Than ever before
