So, I really wanted to do
something happy, silly, funny, since last week’s entry was so dark. However,
this prompt took my mind to a character in my novel I’m working on. A character
that wants off the back burner apparently. I don’t think he will be a POV
character, and I haven’t named him yet. But the novel takes place in a dystopic
future, so, so much for happy, silly, funny.
Prompt “Most vivid amongst the
memories of his home town”
Most vivid amongst the memories of his
hometown was the blue sky. Blue, domeless sky. Growing up in the agricultural
district, he had taken for granted the clean air that the trees gave him. When
he left for medical school in the larger cities, it had taken time to stifle
the claustrophobia that came to him under the domes. The other students had
grown up in the filtered, artificial atmospheres and were accustomed to the
confining feeling. Some even said it made them feel safe. He still missed
stars. No one else he knew had ever seen them, except Eris.
Now enjoy the others!

I really love the world building in this! So intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It's so descriptive, I could feel his anxiety of being in the enclosed space. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. It paints the picture of a world I would enjoy learning more about.
ReplyDeleteLove this. I would be so sad to be hidden under a dome and not be able to see the stars. I can totally feel his pain.
