  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • The Window

    PHOTO PROMPT © Alicia Jamtaas  I knew when I saw him, I wanted to know him. But I knew he couldn’t come up to my apartment. It was too small and I had too much furniture. And I hadn’t done my laundry. It was too hot. The fan in the window was the only way…

  • Laundry

    PHOTO PROMPT © Na’ama Yehuda  Laundry had always been a big part of my life. Starting from second or third grade, I did my own laundry and wouldn’t let anyone else wash my socks. My mom loved it and my brother didn’t understand. I just knew I could do my laundry the right way and as…

  • California

    PHOTO PROMPT © Fleur Lind  I knew exactly where I was going, but didn’t know how to get there. Not exactly. I was heading for California, for my new life, but I needed to make sure I was leaving my old life behind. I was running from my parents and I was running from myself.…
