Immersive World-Building for Short Fiction

✨ Writing Prompt

Choose a real-world location that intrigues you—this could be a bustling market in Marrakech, the serene coastline of a Greek island, or the dense jungles of the Amazon. Research this location, focusing on its culture, history, unique customs, and sensory details (sights, sounds, smells, and textures). Then, craft a short story (1500-2500 words) that immerses the reader in this setting. Your narrative should weave in elements from your research, making the location feel alive. Consider including interactions with locals, descriptions of local cuisine, or cultural festivals to enhance authenticity.
