The Glass Horizon

1. Compose a prose block — Begin by recording a memory of a time you felt surprisingly small, then let it drift quickly into an imagined scene where the sky is the color of shallow, sun-drenched water.

You might describe an object in this space that feels impossibly light or hollow, as though it were made of nothing but air and salt. 2. Introduce a shift — Write a few lines where a navigation tool, like a silver compass or an old map, begins to behave in a way that defies logic.

Explore how the needle might point toward something you desire rather than the north, perhaps leading you toward a chimney rising out of the sand or a door standing alone in a clearing. 3. Inhabit the wonder — Describe a sudden, playful change in the environment that signals a new beginning or a hidden path.

You could focus on a small sensory detail, like the taste of cool peppermint or the sound of a bell ringing underwater, to suggest that every direction now holds a secret promise.
