Wednesday's Writing Prompt — Sunshine

The sun is shining. Spring is on its way. Your character looks out the window. He notices the change of weather. But this change means something greater to your character. It signals something for him.

Perhaps it is a memory of a past event or a reminder of a tragedy. Maybe it is the suggestion that something new is coming, that a new chapter of his life has begun. Pick a scenario and assign emotion and meaning to the change of seasons. What is going to happen with the oncoming of Spring? What is your character now responsible for?

Or, perhaps your story isn't set in a contemporary or historical setting. Perhaps it takes place in a secondary world where the sun does not always bring joy and the seasons are not quite as friendly. Think about the ways the season can have a direct effect on your character's life. What does all this mean to him, and what must he do in response?
