Muse Muggers Challenge #32




Challenge 32.
Another choice of three.
1 - Choose elements from a traditional story starter.
2 - See if you can spin something out of a poem.
3 - Use the picture to inspire.


You can use just one, all three, a bit of one, a thought on something completely random while you were looking at it. Whatever strikes your fancy.

A traditional instant muse:

My main character/protagonist is a female.
My main character is a seamstress/tailor.
An archetype present in my story is Lancelot.
A key object or symbol in my story is a fire extinguisher.
My story will be set in the Swiss Alps.
My story is about revelation.
An event or situation in my story is leaving home.


A poem:

A Fragment.
By Adam Lindsey Gordon.

They say that poison-sprinkled flowers
Are sweeter in perfume
Than when, untouched by deadly dew,
They glowed in early bloom.


They say that men condemned to die
Have quaffed the sweetened wine
With higher relish than the juice
Of the untampered vine.


They say that in the witch's song,
Though rude and harsh it be,
There blends a wild, mysterious strain
Of weirdest melody.


And I believe the devil's voice
Sinks deeper in our ear
Than any whisper sent from Heaven,
However sweet and clear.
