  • Fireworks

    PHOTO PROMPT © Ted Strutz  I knew the concert was going to be spectacular, I just wished I had been prepared for the fireworks. As the literal fireworks exploded over the stage, the fireworks directly in front of me were almost more distracting. The man was about to completely lose his mind over the fact…

  • The Chef

    PHOTO PROMPT © Liz Young  I had always loved cooking elaborate meals when I had friends over, but when it came to feeding myself, I never wanted to cook. Only simple salads and fruit would do for me. The day I met Gabriel, everything changed. I couldn’t pinpoint the moment I changed, but something had.…

  • The Mural

    PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson  As soon as I saw the mural, I knew Scott had been here.  Here in the town I had called home for the last seven years.  I had successfully hidden from him for this long, only for him to find me by accident.  Or what I could only believe was…

  • New Beginnings

    PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart  I knew I wasn’t going to leave the moment I stepped through the front gates. My new home was every dream I ever had and every place I wanted to live. The skies were almost clear and I knew once the storm passed, I would be able to see for…

  • Story Slam

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I knew I would never be the same after she started talking. I was mesmerized. Hypnotized. Wondering why I had never noticed her before. I think it was the sound of her voice that drew me to her and realized I had never heard her speak before this very moment.…

  • Ghosted

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  I didn’t know how much the ruins would change my life until I was already gone. I had been fascinated by the deafening silence ringing in my ears while I started at what was and what could have been. Who had lived here? Who had died here? What were their…

  • Joker

    PHOTO PROMPT © Liz Young  Though I knew how I got the title of Joker, I had yet to understand why people were obsessed with giving me their extra Joker cards. I wondered what they thought I would do with them and if they ever thought about how being labeled as the Joker made me…

  • Sunlight

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rowena Curtin  As I looked down the crowded alley, I wondered if it would be safe to walk down alone. I remembered what had happened the last time I was in an alley and suddenly I knew I couldn’t safely make it down the alley. Jason had been there, lurking. Waiting for…

  • The Laundromat

    PHOTO PROMPT © Miles Rost  I didn’t know how much time I spent at the laundromat, but it was enough.  Enough to make me feel like a bit of a failure, but also reminded me I had come so far. I spent much of my free time in laundromats doing other people’s laundry. I had to…

  • The Loft

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I knew I would move in as soon as the for rent sign went up. I knew it would go up soon because I was the reason behind why April was leaving. She was leaving because I needed to live in this loft immediately. It was essential for my life…
