Guess What is Next?


I glanced up. The sky had a blue azure colour. There were many trees surrounding me. There was nobody around. The water in the river in front of me remained still and calm. The setting sun is directly over the river, off to my right, and the surface of the water has taken the colour and texture of the evening sky. The glassy sheet is covered with streams of pollen dust, over which dragonflies skim back and forth, occasionally dipping down to touch the surface and toss a tiny burst of diamonds into the air. The water is disturbed from below as well, as the tiny fingerlings swimming there rise up to nibble at the invisible gnats flittering over the water. But then the water moved a little........

  1. Is it about some science friction story where there is mystical creatures? Then you are brought into their world?

  3. No. It is a real life story, definitely not a science fiction one, though the description sounds as if it is a science fiction story.

  4. This setting is quite mysterious and also mystical as mentioned but this is not a good setting to talk about because there are not much information that can be related to this story and also there are not many characters in this setting. I suggest you can perhaps add in more characters such as a companion or a stranger so as to make the story more interesting. I feel that the storyline will be something like somebody appears and guide you to another place or probably another dimension.

  5. I think that your setting for the story is just a brief description of the surrounding, and it cannot create any linkage to your story. I am quite confused of your storyline, maybe it is about a kid drowned, or someone has been kidnapped, or a story about loneliness. I suggest that you can give settings which can convey more informations about the story.

  6. The story could be some sort of mystical or horror story, based on the beautiful and quiet surrounding, maybe the persona found a portal link to another world or suddently the sky turn dark and *something* appear. However, the discription of the story is plainly just discribing the picture, it does not give any clue to the readers on what will happen next.

  7. The setting at first is obviously telling us about the calm scenery of the place, before it was disturbed by the appearance of an unwanted organism from the water.Scary....

  8. since what jerome provided is just describing the picture so that we can understand it better, why not we just assume this is a single picture and write out what story you can think about based on this picture?
