  • The Diner

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lori Wilson  The Fourth of July will forever be linked to the worst day of my life.  In late June 2015, my mother decided we were going to hit the Mother Road and head to California via Route 66.  At a small unnamed town, we stopped at a diner named Shelly’s which I knew would be full…

  • Perfection

    PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart  As I watched the woman walk toward me with her face in her phone, I knew she was exactly who I was waiting for.  In everyone’s eyes, she embodied perfection.  Poise.  Grace.  I knew better and needed to find a way to expose her lies without anyone finding out it was me.…

  • Snowy

    PHOTO PROMPT © Jennifer Pendergast  As I looked across the street at the newly fallen snow, I wondered what my future would hold.  I usually loved snow, but this year, the snow felt different.  Colder.  Less sentimental.  I knew life was changing, but was hoping change would come at a slower and easier pace.  After what happened yesterday, I…

  • Desolation

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I knew there was going to be a problem when the info station was empty.  Complete loneliness overwhelmed my already frayed nerves.  The Park Ranger I had talked to the day before had promised the camp was full and there would be someone here to greet me.  At the moment, the campground seemed to be completely isolated.  No…

  • Unscathed

    PHOTO PROMPT © Peter Abbey  As the sun went down, I knew the problems were only beginning.  The problems the night would bring were so final, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through them myself.  If only Richard hadn’t backed out at the last minute, I would have a little help in dealing with Samantha.  I knew her obsessions with the ocean…

  • Future Life

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  As soon set over the mountains, I wondered what my next step would be.  Would I continue on with my dream or should I turn back and return to the life every expected of me?  The missed calls on my phone meant my family was not supportive of my decision, but I knew I couldn’t let them make my decisions for…

  • Downpour

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  Looking out the window at the constant downpour, I knew I had made the right decision.  George would never be able to follow me in the rain as he could if the sun was shining brightly.  I needed to get as far away from London as I could, as fast…

  • The Shell Collection

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  The shell collection was something I knew I needed to get rid of, but knowing and doing were two different things.  I knew I could let my past go by dumping the shells, but could I live with myself after the deed was done?  What would my mother think?  Did…

  • 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…
