fandomweekly| Challenge 281: MIRAGE |
n. an optical effect that is sometimes seen at sea, in the desert, or over a hot pavement, that may have the appearance of a pool of water or a mirror; something illusory or unattainable Caused by the shimmer of reflected light over heated air, a mirage can be a dangerous thing in the desert, where it might trick unwary travelers into thinking they’re not so far from water. It can be beautiful – a little ripple of light in the distance, like sunlight dancing on water – but no matter how hard you try, you’ll never get close enough. Write a story about a mirage (literal or figurative). If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
