Listen 5 minutes (or more!) From Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. Write a short story that matches the mood / tone / intensity / etc. of this song. Imagine that the song is the soundtrack to your story.

one of the most interesting question i've seen haha! idk why but I imagine a traveler from a small town, leaving everything behind to find a land of many wonders. as he sets out, he enters a dark and thick forest. the clouds gather, and the winds blow ominously. the thunder bellows throughout, and branches of lightning crackle in the sky. the poor traveler only holds his barely lit kerosene lamp, and struggles to find a way out. it was a dark and long night, but he found a ray of light in the midst of the great thicket. he follows through and finally discovers the land of many wonders. everything is full of color and light. the traveler had only seen a glimpse of this serene land in his dreams.

this was fun to write lol
