Title: Wash Me Clean Rating: PG Prompt: #2, Walk the Line Category: 100 words Word Count: 100 words Summary: Someone must be the first to declare war. But which side should she fight for?
She had always hated how colors seemed so much brighter here, bleached by the brilliant sun until only the purest essence remained. Not because it wasn’t beautiful- after ten years, she still stopped to stare- but because every time she looked up at the sky, it was as if she gazed straight into her brother’s eyes. There was the same sharpness, deep and bright and pure, but most of all true- what she had seen in Roald, when others just saw duty and decorum.
The day that Carthak declared war on Tortall it was raining, and Kally blessed the gods.

Oh wow. This is so powerful - extraordinarily so, given that it's only 100 words long - and so beautiful.
Really, this is incredible.

The description that you have in here is so vivid! I agree with Max - the amount that you manage to pack into 100 words is amazing!
