February 9th My World

Write about a creation.

Everyone thinks it's a period, an exclamation mark, a question or quotation mark that ends a story, and while physically that is right it isn't the end of the creation. My creation was a world. Not in a tank, in a tub, or in a computer but a world described in text, in prose, in words. The completion of my world was a comma, simple to miss, but oh so needed from my bad habit of run on sentences. 

The creations of a writer are varied and expansive, spreading from the minor interactions of a single leaf on the wind, to the political interactions of a prince fighting for the crown. They create worlds where the variety of species matches that we know in our everyday surroundings to a single scene where one person is alone with their own thoughts. A poem from that writer can have you live another’s life that you would in no way ever get to experience yourself. A sentence can open someone’s eyes to ideas so foreign and near alien to what they are used to that it can change their entire outlook. 

My world was filled with so many differences, things that I hoped would come true, that I prayed wouldn’t, and was waiting to birth it’s own creation. Like the world around us, the world of my creation was set up to tell its own story. How did the mother of a dog-kin handle working for a man with bionic eyes? How does the man raised among wealth tell his family that he wants nothing more than to take care of the infirm? What is to be found among the ruins of civilization that while within eyesight is irradiated to the point only those genetically blessed to be resistant could find out, but those are the very people too poor or lacking the privileges to explore beyond the city's walls?

I have made a creation full of creations. I have sprinkled foundations, elements, hints and mysteries that when released to the world will have the power to spawn whole new creations. My creation will be open to the readers of the world, and hopefully inspiring other creations.
