Synopsis

*This is a writing prompt response written for practice. Feedback welcome.* [Please note: Format of this writing response is in the style of a pseudo obituary. The author (me) was experimenting with a different style.] 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"
