Writing prompt: Constrained writing response of 100-300 words to following story starter:
"Night fell over the Antarctic glaciers and thousands of feet waddled forward to the edge of a precipice of ice and snow.
An army of penguins stood and watched as the first contestants lined up at the start of the track. It was a grueling race, filled with hairpin turns, steep drops, and some dangerous jumps over ramps carved into the ice. Only the bravest penguins competed in the races.
At the same time, explorer and scientist Ingrid Belousci climbed out of her makeshift shelter to observe the unique behavior of the penguins. She had heard them assemble and noticed a difference in their usual sounds.
She would inadvertently become the first human to ever see the spectacle. But things changed when she was spotted. ///from user throwthisoneintrash"
