At The Blog Up North I ran into another short writing challenge that sounded intriguing. He got it from a blogging friend of his, who got it from another blog sahdandproud who put up the Around the World in 80 Words challenge as a Linky. So here I go . . .
Zdiar lies hidden in the mountains, a winter wonderland. A little lower down the tourist-filled ski resorts bustle with people. The ski bus stops in Zdiar to pick up adventurous travelers. Children on sleds wander up and down the streets. People bundled for warmth still seem happy with holiday cheer. A sleigh ride at night, followed by drinks by a roaring fire in our cozy cabin makes for a delightful winter getaway. I dream I will return to the beauty.

Thank you for this; I’ll definitely have to try it out. And it might be a good jumping off point for later pieces.
