Midnight’s Metaphor

Conjure up a metaphor for the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve.

This prompt invites exploration into the symbolism of midnight—a moment of transition where one year ends and the other begins. Is it a doorway, a rippling midnight blue lake, or a blank page waiting for stories to be written? This exercise enhances critical thinking skills as you carefully select the perfect metaphor, considering the emotions and expectations associated with the New Year’s transition.
