Sometimes, the absence of something is as telling as its presence. Something missing, hidden, undeclared, veiled. A person, an object, an emotion. Write a short piece (max 200 wds) around something or someone who isn't there. Any style.

Show, don't tell
If you try to explain something, you are doing the work for the reader, and not very well. Write from your senses, without comment or abstraction, and readers will conjure up their own images.
Pick a detail in this picture. Write down what you would see, hear, feel, taste, smell, if you were close to the objects – and conjure up an emotion that infuses the description with meaning.
