![User Image](https://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Isabeau-the-Red/Subwaymapheader.jpg) Have you ever noticed how loud the squeals of the train seem when you're alone?
Now to get down to business. Your piece can be any style, can be about anything, anyone, anytime, but not anyplace. The setting of your story will be dictated by myself, I will list some very detailed, very specific places that your story will have to take place in. It doesn't have to be fully set in the prompt setting, but it must be a major place for the story. You will choose only one from the list below. There aren't many, so choose carefully.
.Prompts.
.1. At the side of a road there is gravelly dirt that has seeped onto the road itself, dust clouds rise whenever a car passes. The dark night sky gives little away as to what is in the distance, a scrubby copse of trees can be seen just beyond the gravel. The road has only two lanes, no buildings can be seen along its length. The lack of tall trees or other hindrances alows for a panoramic view of the star speckled sky, not even a telephone wire can be seen. The road is unkempt, in obvious disrepair. It goes down in a dip right by the gravelly area, going up in a slight incline into the distance.
.2. Heavy curtains are closed over the windows at the far wall of the room, they're a deep burgundy colour. An antique sofa in the same colour sits against the left wall adjacent to the window. Rich pillows are strewn over it in a haphazard manner. The floor is a dark wood, covered in the center of the room by a lighter, cream coloured carpet. The only other furniture in the room is a wide bookcase set against the wall opposite the sofa, and two small end tables on either side of the sofa.
.3. There a mountains just barely visible on the horizon, haze and twilight obscure them. The ground around is flat, a plateau. Scrubby plants cling to the wind-whipped land. Dust rises constantly, giving the air a brownish cast, the fine powder clings to everything. The last rays of the sun colour the sky in pastel shades. On the other side of the expansive horizon a mountain looms, the coloured sky is blocked from view. The plateau ends steeply on either side, a cliff and a mountain. Stray rocks are scattered about, varying in size from pebbles to boulders.
.4. Structural beams break the window wall into sections, each showing scenes of the thriving city below. Nearly two storeys tall, the room is stark and minimalist. There are more beams like those supporting the one window wall running across the ceiling. The other three walls are painted white, they are nearly bare except for the one to the left of the window, a large archway seperates the room from a kitchen. An oversized mahogany table sits in the center of the room, eight chairs sit around it. Three flank each side, one at either end. They are antique looking chairs, contrasting the modern look of the room, carved of a light wood. Turquoise upholstery on the seats is the only bit of bright colour. A large mirror hangs on the wall apposite the archway.
.Note of Importance. You must describe these places in your own words in your stories, many points will be deducted if you just copy and paste my descriptions into your entries. Use these places creatively, because if there ends up being a decent number of entries these places will be used repeatedly. It's your job to make your story stand out.
The sound leaves a ringing in your ears.
