Prompt 39 - Senses

Senses. Five of them. More, you might argue. For this prompt, I'm just going with the first five (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). ...Choose one of them, just one. And let it be your companion for the day. Or for a few days. Try to be extra-aware of that sense. Try to take note of what it notices throughout your day/night. If you like, make a list of these things.

When you're satisfied that you really have noticed that sense more than before, have really noticed what it's detecting and feeding to your brain, thank it most kindly and then pick up your pen. Your piece of writing should try to incorporate that sense, whether as a character, or as the basis for most of the descriptions given.

If you decide to try out this prompt, why not share it on your blog? We would be more excited than you could possibly imagine (honest!) to find out who is playing along with 26n, and what they're writing. Go on, we're friendly - honest! :)
