The Wandering Windmill


Listen Later

On a peaceful plot of rural land stands a grand, old windmill that doesn't operate by the direction of the wind, but rather, mysteriously wanders around the property. Varying every day, its position is dictated by an unseen force and believed to be connected to some undisclosed mysteries of the universe. Today it's at the edge of the largest pond. Yesterday it was in the middle of a sunflower field. The day before, it was amidst a willow grove.

Write a story centered around this wandering windmill, enabling the readers to feel the magic and peculiarity ensnaring this piece of architecture. Be creative with the reasons for its unusual behavior, and the kind of impact it has on the people and environment around it. Also, play around with its physical description and the changing landscape of its surroundings as it moves.
