In Keith’s words. “Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keith@channing.info before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here – pingbacks don’t often work.
Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries, with links to your own blog or web site, next Monday.
The Photo.
The Solution By John W. Howell © 2017
“What are you looking at?”
“Shush. I think I hear something.”
“Don’t be a fool. There is nothing there. Keep digging.”
“I’m not sure I’ve told you I love you enough.”
“Aw, that’s sweet. What caused you to say that?”
“You know how I feel about you.”
“Yes, of course, I do.”
“I guess I’m a little taken with the fact we are on our honeymoon.”
“I know isn’t it wonderful? But you know this isn’t technically our honeymoon. That won’t begin until after the ceremony.”
“Well, I’m just filled with love. I think we have been on a honeymoon ever since we met.”
“You know, you say the nicest things.”
“I am so excited about our life together at last.”
“It has been a trial, but that is all behind us now.”
“I still think I hear something.”
“That is impossible.”
“Let me lean a little closer.”
“I think you are imagining things.”
“I don’t know. I may not have hit him hard enough.”
“Oh for heaven’s sake. He’s been dead for a day now. Hurry up and get him covered so we can get to the ceremony.”
“Should we say some words?”
“Why?”
“He was your husband after all.”
