Challenge 199: ALTAR

n. a usually raised structure or place on which sacrifices are offered or incense is burned in worship; often used figuratively to describe a thing given great or undue precedence or value especially at the cost of something else Altars are a signature feature of many ceremonies – Day of the Dead, weddings, worship services. They can be important cultural icons, or more intimate family traditions, or anything in between – something carefully decorated with daily upkeep, or only brought out for special moments, or hidden away in a distant shrine. Symbolically, they suggest sacrifice, worship, devotion; metaphorically, an altar might be something placed above everything else, the most important thing in the world to someone, worth sacrificing everything for. Write a story about an altar. BONUS GOAL: Musically Inclined If your submission features singing, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
