Still life writing

This challenge has ended!

In an ideal world, we would use a large proportion of characters to describe a scene, I know I’ve wanted to go into more detail in some descriptions I’ve made.

So this is your challenge; write something amazing, without anything moving. The mission is to write a beautiful description.

This is kind of commemorative for me, as I’m going to be a tad less active in the time to come, but this is going to let you know, I haven’t forgotten ficly, this challenge gives me something to come back for. That and the awesome sauce people here.

On a more challenge-related note, you have three weeks and two days. Why? I don’t know.

And the scores are in.

Third place goes to Tradition by ElshaHawk, I loved the spirituality and meaning you gave to your story, you really got across the importance of the moment.

Second place goes to Still Life by PJ Deane, a wonderful description of a freezeframe commencing the death of one of the characters.

Top prize of Five hundred million hypothetical pounds goes to The Dogwood Also Rises by stargazer1960, who beautifully captured the moment before life bursts throughout a forest of dogwood trees as Spring’s first light creeps over the horizon to bathe the trees in the sun’s rays.

Special mention to Donkey Burger:

Your name is a pun; What does it mean?

Any of the top three feel free to gloat as much as you want. I should note that the choices were difficult, as there were so many wonderful pieces here.
