Sentence starters (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/tags.php?tag=sentence+starter) are a fairly simple concept. I'll post a sentence. You write everything that follows that sentence. That's it. It's just flash fiction. Make it interesting. Make it compelling. Make it yours.

The count for this starter is 250 words. Remember: the word count isn't meant to be a hard and fast goal, merely a suggestion. But for those that wish to use sentence starters as true exercises in forced writing, it will be welcome practice in attempting to stick to set goals.

This starter should be set in the RENAISSANCE time period (European Renaissance, spanning approximately the 14th through 17th centuries). It can be any genre: fantasy, horror, steampunk, romance, alternative-history, mystery, etc. But it must be set somewhere in Europe during the general time period of the Renaissance, and we should be able to see that in the contribution.

Here is your sentence starter:

The moonlight spread across the ground like a silvery carpet of moss.
