Gervic's GoT challenge responses |
The crowd, a river I must stem, Each face a fleeting, fading gem. Then eyes like midnight meet my own, A spark, a world in shadow shown. His form, a statue carved in haste, By some old master's hand now traced. My footsteps falter, start to turn; Within, a strange, new warmth does burn. A glance behind, a hope, a prayer, And mirrored wonder fills the air. He turns, our eyes a bridge between, Two strangers in an altered scene. Does his heart leap as quick as mine? Does he, like me, search for a sign? The crowd recedes, the world grows still, Two souls entwined, if fate should will. One step, then two, our paths converge, A future poised on question's verge. The words may halt, the voice may fail, But in this gaze, a tale sets sail. WORD COUNT: 139 Words LINE COUNT: 20 Lines PROMPT: WHAT'S HER STORY? 4. Your protagonist walks past an intriguing stranger, then turns around to take another look at them. The stranger turns around, too. Write about what happens next.
