This is a challenge thread, where writers are asked to compete against each other. Writers are asked to present a single, short writing piece in response to the prompt. The winner will receive 200gp and 50xp. Runners up will receive 75gp. Entries should be shorter than Vignettes; 100 to 150 words. Brevity will be a challenge.

Pick from the following options and set the scene in detail. You can choose macro or micro descriptions* to focus on, or both. It it must be clear which setting you've chosen. The winner will be the entry that provides the richest detail.

*a macro description would be referring to a large area, a micro would be focusing on a small area. Examples are:

Macro: The sun poured rich honey filled light over the golden wheat fields.

Micro: the flower’s white petals reflected the warm summer’s sun with ivory brilliance.

  • A stormy afternoon
  • a summer day
  • a snowing winters day
  • a sweltering hot night
  • an afternoon’s sudden monsoon downpour


If you're looking for inspiration, I suggest looking up a video that you can use to visualise the sort of descriptions that might work well for your choice.

You have two weeks, closing 28th September!
