Not What It Seems...
In a short, not more than 50 words, start with something that seems beautiful but surprises us, or perhaps begin with something that seems sinister and turns out to be quite lovely. However you'd like to go. See my example if you need a hint, but feel free to take the prompt as you wish! God bless and much success! PLEASE tag me @LexiCon in the comments after you've finished your piece). It's been a while since I've hosted a challenge (and really interacted much with the site in general) I pray you've all been well! Much love.
Amorphophallus titanum
The air was humid and close always, now a growing stink permeated the jungle. Putrefaction, death, the sharp sting of decay in the nose. The discarded corpses of environmental activist, like before? Pushing through ferns fear dissolved to awe. The flower thrust 3 meters tall, reeking in all its glory!
