Take a look at Joanna Campbell's painting, 'Advance'. This artwork features a skyline backdrop and figures casting long shadows as they move forward across a textured landscape.
Write a story about a group of people journeying toward a shared, unknown destination at either dawn or dusk.
To make this extra challenging, the journey must not be the result of a war, funeral, or real-life political event. What strange, exciting, or mysterious event are they walking toward?
