A setting in a story is usually the place and time the story is placed. Usually there is at least one setting (obviously) and tells the time (eg: year, month, time of day, etc). Below are my examples:
- The western town was haunted by the ghosts of the past. Lost souls wandered in and out of abandoned saloons, banks that were once owned by the wealthy were turned into housing by the spiders that now inhabited it. Screams of tortured ghosts filled what once was the sheriff's jailhouse.
- An open window allowed the gentle breeze to push past the curtains into the room. The sun cloaked the room in boxes of gold, turning ordinary furniture into that of what kings would own. Blankets dragging onto the floor, leaving the only warmth she had, that of her lovers arms. The sweet sound of birds waking up and beginning their morning routine filled her ears.
- The only light in the night was the neon signs that tinted the world red as she ran through the alley drowning in puddles. Destroying one puddle after another as she broke into the deserted street, the shops blurring together into one as she sprints past.

Hey Molly!
ReplyDeleteYou have some amazing descriptions here. I like how you used a video instead of a picture. It's a really good idea because of how much more detail you can go into with it. I love your first one and how dark it is especially, you can write some wonderfully dark situations and they are awesome.
