Slice of Life 9: Footsteps

The simplest everyday moments can be some of the most impactful, the most enjoyable to tell, the little things we live for that truly show who our characters are and how they live their lives. All too often, it's these small slices of life that seem to pass us by, unfit for DRAMA so common to the Brotherhood or not quuuite what such and so RP is about.

Rules

  • Entries should be a minimum of 500 words
  • Any characters! No sheet, an old sheet, back in time, in the future, whatever. Snapshots are not required. The characters need only be in our SW/DB sandbox setting.
  • Entries MAY be CO-OP with one (1) other member. If co-op, make sure to indicate using a different color or breaks who wrote what, and please include your respective word counts. It just makes things easier.
  • Entries MUST relate to the given word prompt.

Entries will be graded using the Voice Fiction Rubric as a base with flexibility for lack of Character Sheets being necessary and big dramatic story arcs. Show me your characters living their lives.

Prompt: Footsteps

Examples: hearing someone approach, the shape of footprints, tracking, walking on a beach or in mud, trying on shoes, metaphorically following in someone's path, dancing on feet, etc
