Stealing Styles

There are writers everywhere whose style is admirable to us in our own ways. There has to be or we would never progress as writers! The challenge is simple! "Borrow" the style of an artist you admire and push it into your own work. You can tell me who it is or not: the choice is up to you. And don't let me limit you to mainstream authors! There are too many ficlyteers with beautiful styles that just _need_ to be recognised. Go!
