Staircase
Write a description or scene, in prose or poem about a staircase.
*Use the ordinariness of the subject to really push the genre. Maybe it's a fantasy staircase that transports one between worlds, or a gothic staircase descending into the depths of a castle, or a gritty urban fire escape, etc. Variations like stairs, steps, or ladders are fine.
*A story isn't necessary. Focus on description of the stairs and its setting, or a scene playing out on them.
*100-500 words recommended for prose. No restrictions for poetry.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool.
