Hey, i’m participating in an imagery writing contest at school, and the theme is love and longing. does anyone have any ideas on what i should do?

Love and Longing...     Longing can be expressed as a feeling of wanting or missing something. Say you have a really good expensive video game you want but you can not have, the feeling of wanting the video game and knowing you can not have it would be longing.

As for your story, I can bet you $10 that almost every one is going to have a Romeo and Juliet, because it is one of the most famous Love and Longing stories out there. So I would think outside the box. Say you really like chocolate but you can have it anymore because they don't make it anymore. Or go with the video game theme and say they brand new video game that has come out is only for VR, but you don't have VR, oh!! And say the video game is a sequale to a super good game. Something silly that does not have to do with you walling for the boy/girl/it next door.

XOXO

explanation:

it was the fourth thursday of november and cassey headed down to the woods to pick up the mushrooms mother had told her to to complement the turkey the family was going to have as they did every day.

she usually sweapt the floors and went for water, but today that task was asked to her younger sister since matthew, the only boy, had gone to the town with father in order to find cheap fabrics to make clothes.

the shoe business was not being as profitable as before, so they had decided to make clothes to sell in the village.

today there would not be time to play with mary, her neighbour and friend, to play to be still in water, a game that was not only part of the fun in the village, but also very useful if there happened to be an acciddent when she had to cross the shore by boat, as she had to at least twice a week to visit grandma.

bored and uninterested in the task she had been imposed to do, cassey started to pull up the best mushrooms she could see. suddenly, something hard was found by her tender fingers. she couldn't believe her eyes: a gold ring crowned by a diamond appeared between her fragile fingers

before she had time to think what to do, a deep voice spoke at her back.

- i heard your mum asking you to pick up mushrooms for the turkey - said her beloved tom - would you collect mushrooms for me next day?

- yes, sure. are you planning to invite someone important? - cassey asked.

- of course. i'm planning to invite two families, mine and my wife's. will you marry me? - tom asked on his knees.

cassey looked at the ring, then at tom, and she felt the moisture in her eyes. she hugged him, kissed him and in those simple actions the answer of her life was implied.
