  • The Shoes

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  It started as a joke, but then became suddenly serious. I never found what prompted Pete to take the joke as far as he did, but here we are. I was originally told the shoes belonged to his brother, and every time Jace made him mad, Pete would throw his…

  • The Ruins

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  I knew I was in for a treat when we got to the ruins. The ruins were everything I had ever dreamed of, but was confident I would never see. Since I quit my job last year, I never thought I would be here. I hadn’t been able to force myself…

  • The Barn

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I was nervous about staying with my grandparents the minute I saw their ‘barn.’ The windows were completely boarded and though the stone walls looked fairly clean-ish, nothing surrounding the barn did. This was the first time I had ever met my mother’s parents due to a fight they had…

  • Tower of Pisa

    PHOTO PROMPT © Anne Higa  The second I took the photograph, it was the last one I would ever take. The Tower of Pisa was my intended subject, but found myself staring at the man in the black top hat. The man who had disappeared from my life twenty years before and the man who we all…

  • Home

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  I knew as soon as I walked into the busy square, I knew I was home. Home. Home. Home. A word I never was able to repeat to myself until that exact moment. The history resonated out of each building and I could smell the food from various open markets. I walked…

  • Abandoned

    PHOTO PROMPT © Bill Reynolds  I always wondered how I could buy the abandoned truck and fix her up. My brother had been dreaming of owning a flatbed truck since he was five and saw one in a cartoon. I knew this abandoned truck had to be for sale… right? One Friday afternoon I got the nerve…

  • The Shadow

    PHOTO PROMPT © Na’ama Yehuda  I knew it was time to move the night I saw the shadows in the window. There had never shadows before Chloe’s murder. I knew one had to be a man due to sheer size and I was trying to talk myself off the ledge I recognized the other shadow.…

  • Poppy’s

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  I only went to Poppy’s to see the window. To study the window. I wanted to know how I could do the same thing, but the only problem was the food. Poppy’s had the most fantastic stained glass window in their ceiling, but had the worst food in town. It…

  • Miss Smith

    PHOTO PROMPT © Ted Strutz The library was the only place I ever felt safe. The only place I could check out as many books as I could carry. My parents never kept eyes on me after school so the public library became my stomping ground. Miss Smith came to be one of my most…

  • The Kidnap

    I hoped the auto repair shop would have my best interests in mind.  I was  looking for my father and Middleham Motors was the last place he’d been seen.  Even just getting to this point had been a struggle.  My mother had disappeared from my life when I was only 9 months old and I had seen – with…
