  • The Museum

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I knew immediately Scott had made the glass sculpture.  He had tried to change his style, but wasn’t completely successful.  Why he was making new art at all was beyond me.  He was supposed to be hiding, not projecting to the world he was still alive.  The only thing I…

  • The Window

    PHOTO PROMPT © Mr. Binks  I knew I was in the wrong town when I saw the roasting chickens behind the glass.  I had never once tasted chicken or any meat come to think of it, so the daily reminder of what I could and could not do was terrifying.  I should have done more…

  • The Shoe

    When I found the shoe behind my car, I knew who it belonged to and why it was there.  It was Jake and he was trying to pull another prank over on me.  But this time, I wasn’t going to fall for it.  I steadfastly went on with my life and pushed Jake out of…

  • My Mother’s Flowers

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rowena Curtin  I knew as soon as I saw the pansies, I knew they were exactly what my mother would have wanted.  But I wasn’t sure anymore if I cared what she wanted.  She had left several weeks ago and hadn’t come back home.  I knew I had to get on with…

  • The Muddy Forest

    PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson  I knew the forest would be muddy, but I wasn’t expecting this. How would I ever be able to follow through with my plan if I could get my car through? It was obvious someone had tried before me, but I didn’t have the driving experience to make me confident…

  • The Photograph, part 2

    (If you missed part one, check it out here!) As the days and weeks passed, I could see my uncle was not paying attention waning. He didn’t think I was going to get revenge, but he didn’t realize how patient I could be. Especially when it came to payback. I knew exactly how I was…

  • The Photograph

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  I knew something was off as soon as I saw the photograph. I had done everything correctly to the point of triple checking my settings before taking the photo. Thus, I was confused as to why it had printed so horribly. As I investigated the rest of my photographs, I…

  • The Snowstorm

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  The last snow of the season was always my worst day. It always reminded me of my father and it always reminded me I could no longer use the weather as an excuse to stay inside. The interior of my house was nice and warm and everything outside of my…
