WRITING OBSTACLE

Inspired by Samantha Roberts

Write a descriptive scene about a character feeling the sunlight on their face for the first time in a very long while.

Try to use as many senses as you can to capture this moment.

Escape

Standing at the edge of the shadow, I was afraid. The light I had dreamed of for so long now blinded me. It was sharp and painful at first, but with every moment that passed the light became softer. I took one step forward. It was warm, wrapping around me. I stood firm as a soft breeze danced with the warmth across my skin. It whistled sweetly in my ear and then continued lazily on its way. I could taste the sunlight. It was sweet heaven, like ripe berries in summer. There was a faint trace of cookies baking in the air, that brought back memories of long ago. Memories of a life before I was captured. I spun slowly, enjoying the incredible warmth that filled my bones. My ecstasy was interrupted by a single gunshot. I fell to the ground with a smile still on my lips.
