I decided to do a writing exercise. I wrote down any words that reminded me of the topic (in this case a snowflake) for one minute then gave myself fifteen minutes to write a short story about the topic. Hope you like.
Snowflake:
Ice
Cold
Snow
Blizzard
North wind
Frosted Flakes

A carousel of uplifting drafts lifts the dancers higher and lower. Shining stones of liquid crack and chip to form intricate designs as they spin and twists in the frozen airflow. Careful not to get pulled under the cotton clouds. Full of mystery and wonder they perform their silent song. At the tip of the pirouette they tumble through the cavern palace in the sky. Floating twirling ever so gently laughter the breaks the chilly void of the mute ballerinas as they fall ever so slowly through the atmosphere. One by one the pale spectacles of reflecting light land lightly on the blanket of fluff until one unlucky twirl causes its artist to shatter mournfully on the hard unforgiving stone.
