Challenge
Challenge of the Month II
The Gift. Write the story of a gift, passed from one hand to another. Perhaps it is a heart-warming gesture of kindness and goodwill. Or perhaps it is something more foreboding, more sinister. Perhaps it is a simple, material object. Or perhaps it is something more amorphous, more esoteric. Whatever it is, it must be a gift. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
Something you want, something they need.
Scorching hot sand
blistering feet
leathery skin
sharp rocky seat
trees turned to stone
refraction of light
rickety stalls
vultures in flight
trinkets and treasures
but not a drop to see
“ a gift for the child,
a gift for me “
