And the Bitch is gone... an exercise in writing

[miles]

(This ain't my original thread idea but I was keen on it, so thought I'd post it here)

I've noticed the lack of muse lately and did some thinking for a possible exercise.
Here goes.

You are at a crossroad. Each direction will take you to a different place.
North will take you through a snowy forest
South will take you to the ocean.
East will take you to a busy city street.
West will take you to a deserted village.

You are to choose a path and write what you experience. The writer's goal is to stimulate the reader's senses.
You must let them know what it's like to be there as if they see it through your eyes, hear it with your ears, taste it with your mouth, smell what you smell.
Other than the snowy forest, you may choose the weather.

Think about the path you've chosen and why you did.
There is no deadline, no word count...it must be purely from you.
It can be a story or a snippet , what ever.
You may be alone or meeting someone or with someone. Are there animals? is it hot or cold? what is going on in your head when you get to your destination.

Provoke your muse.
