Life

A wave in the ocean
A ripple in the blue, shining lake

Is this really anything different

From what our soul would partake?

When the day comes that we realize we're all the same

There will no longer be any sort or form of shame

Because we're all human

And lifes not a game.

A writing game, for those interested.

Here is my idea.

Write a story where the setting is used, at least once. But where that setting can also be changed with another one, without affecting the story.

You can pick two settings, that then can be switched out without affecting anything else. In this one I have chosen my two settings to be a locker room, and the top of a mountain. This is a very, very short example.
