The Wedding Ring

February 15, 2016 2 Comments

The Wedding Ring

By Soma Bose

The wedding diamond ring was stolen in spite of tight security in the palace.

Detective Mrs. Gibson removed the extraordinarily big box where the ring was kept to discover a darkened tunnel behind it.

“It extends some distance towards a village,” she said.

She followed the path.

The village-head informed, “Recently, I had called a few mechanics to repair some machines preserved inside my cotton mill, but surprisingly the mechanics disappeared a few hours ago.”

Mrs. Gibson checked the machines with a modern device, and an electronic display caught the presence of the stolen ring within one of the defective machines!

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.

      Yes, everything is possible in your imagination if the box is as big as a manhole and if you remove the box
      you can find a small tunnel where you can get down through.
