Concept
Constellation of Details
Fiction. Engineering absence by giving the reader enough to feel what's missing.
You have writing from a previous exercise that was never downloaded.
Setup
Someone is missing another person. They enter a space where they usually find them.
Goal
Capture: Engagement — generate reader curiosity through a constellation of details.
Constraints
— all at once
- 1 Every detail in the space must suggest a specific quality of the absent person.
- 2 Let a portrait emerge from accumulated details.
- 3 Write at least two paragraphs.

Reflection
How many details did it take before the constellation converged into an implied individual?
