Make something sad happy or vice versa.
Write a story about something inherently happy and make it sad. Or inherently sad and make it happy. Example: A wedding where all is not as it seems. Or a funeral where they toast the dead and make the best of things. Or any other paradoxical premise that would be interesting.

Sun over the hills

Everyone gathered around the sun hovering over the crowded hill. Several birds sing the man in the dark robe speaks over the two.

Her parents are dressed in vibrant colors His parents are dressed in white. Everyone is dressed according to the request they received to attend. This day of release, they called it.

My mother told me I shouldn't be in my phone at a time like this. I couldn't help to see what everyone was saying on social media.

After the powerful words of the man in the black robe we're over, he pulled out his cell phone and a small round shaped object. The sound started to escape through everyone faced each other and placed their arms around strangers, family, friends, neighbors

Once the beat dropped, everyone danced in joy, grabbing roses of many colors and throwing them into the ground where both coffins lay. Sarah and Kevin took their lives six days ago and in their suicide note all they requested was to have a celebration of their release. She had been dying from cancer and he just couldn't be alone without her so they decided on this.

As the speakers bled noise, everyone danced in joy and laughter, remembering all the good they brought into the world. I danced with my mother until the music tapered off into the distance. Into the sun-drenched field.
