The Olfactory Experiment

[monique_minx]

The object of this little experiment is to use the prompt to describe something ordinarily difficult to describe and then give the next person something to continue the game with.

The rules:
1. The prompt has to be something to do with the senses (something one sees, hears, smells, touches or tastes).
2. It can be described however you like it - clinically, from a character's point of view, as a metaphor or simile etc.
3. Your description must be easily inserted into a story, we're not looking for dictionary definitions so don't be boring!
4. Challenge us! Because I will challenge you, be creative.

My example:

Describe the smell of bacon

It was warm, smoky and rich. It made her nostrils flare and her mouth water. It smelled of home and hearth and the comfort that lay therein. It brought bright sunny Sunday mornings around the dining table with her father humming as he cooked up a breakfast feast to mind, immediately.


My prompt for the next person:

Describe how water sounds

 

[The_gladiator]

Describe how water sounds…


Endless, ever pounding. You could feel it’s power in each rolling breaker. The sound was never quite the same when you were farther away, but when you stood among those waves, could hear the almost thump of the wave starting then the rolling roar as the wave rolled in. There was nothing like it. The sound had weight, and movement to it. It was like just hearing it you could imagine the feel of the wave as you body surfed in it or stood against the tide. Water had many sounds but this more than most was the sound he truly missed, recordings could never do it justice.

Describe the feel of the soft skin of the inner thigh of a woman.
