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.
World Pass By
I sit still. Iβm always still.
I watch as the waves move in and out.
In.
Out.
Like a steady breath.
The leaves above me change from green to yellow to orange to red before falling off their perch. They rot by my feet as the winter winds bristle by me.
Wicked cold and winter storm with crashing waves.
When itβs quiet, you can hear the crickets sing with the waves.
In, chirp.
Out, chirp.
In, tick.
Out, tick.
Timeβs running out. And yet I still stay still.
Watching the world pass by.
