Muse Food – The Ruins That Remain
In any world, there are remnants of the past. There could be a fallen rotting tree, the skeleton of a bird, dilapidated buildings, crashed and now rusting spaceships.
These remnants give newcomers hints of the world’s past.
There are also the ruins that are deliberately not built over or removed. They are indications of the past the current inhabitants WANT to be seen and remembered. And often they reflect what the current inhabitants WANT newcomers to understand about their current culture or society.
What are these ruins in your world?

Muse Food – Hong Kong And Unexpected Art
These stairs in front of a park in Hong Kong was artwork the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I didn’t expect to see.
Many officials in other cities would have left the stairs a plain, rather ugly gray, the color of the cement. That would ‘save money.’ It would be simpler to maintain. There’s less risk of it turning out terribly.
Hong Kong administrators allowed an artist to use it as a canvas. And that says a lot about Hong Kong and the people living there. They value art. They value beauty. They care enough to make their surroundings gorgeous.
Your description of your story’s setting communicates a lot also. It sets the mood. It conveys the values of the beings living there…or the absence of beings.
Setting is a character. Use it to better tell your story.
