This is a small snippet of some creative writing I have done. It is a fictional story I am currently working on.
My goal with this story was to start with some subtle world building. I wanted to try and minimize the amount of exposition I gave. This is also the first chapter, so I wanted to spend time setting up events in future chapters. This snippet focuses on the introduction of the setting and the main character, so there aren’t as many references to future events, hence why I chose it to show in this portfolio. I also chose it because I believe that it does some of the best work setting up the character and the world.
