Esther’s prompt, write about a fictional world you would like to visit.

Discworld

This is what I wrote :

The world I would like to visit is the Discworld of Terry Pratchett. I would really like to meet Granny Weatherwax and her fellow witches.

I think the idea of an unpolluted, magical world, with tiny dragons that singe you slightly when they sneeze is great.

When there is a real figure of Death with a horse called Binky. The stories weave around using ideas from Earth but putting a spin on them.

Flat Earthers would possibly love the idea that the Discworld is flat and rests on the back of four gargantuan Elephants who in turn stand on the back of the giant world turtle, A’tuin, who’s paddle like legs steer him through interstellar space.

Wood can be sentient, there are pines that count their age so when you chop them down the number of years they have been standing appears in their heart wood. A magically infused trunk will chase you on hundreds of little legs and swallow evil people up.

Rincewind the Wizard is at the centre of many stories and his friend Twoflower follows along and adds to the chaos. Yes I would love to be there!
