This is one of the wells at Longmire in Mt. Rainier National Park. This well sits directly to the left of the cabin in the woods. The well definitely makes me think of The Ring a great spooky movie for those you doing RIPXII’s Peril on the Screen. Why is this well in the woods?Continue reading “#Writober Day 13: A Well In The Woods”

#Writober Day 12: Locked Inside
The human form inside the eye makes me think of Human Centipede for some reason. Oh so creepy. What if we all live inside one huge being? What if it’s a monstrous humanoid with yellow eyes? A writing prompt from #MagicMon on Monday further inspired today’s flash fiction by adding a Ouija board to myContinue reading “#Writober Day 12: Locked Inside”
#Writober Day 11: Shoeless into the storm
This is such a great story image. I have so many questions. Why did this man rush out of the house in the night with only a candle. Why didn’t he put on shoes? How is that candle staying lit? You can see more of Teun Hocks‘s work in his books. #vss: very short storyContinue reading “#Writober Day 11: Shoeless into the storm”
#Writober Day 10: Voyeuristic
There is so much story in this image. Why is Dad outside, in a crazy patio garden, looking in on his exhausted family? Is that even Dad? This image makes me think of the dysfunctional family in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind when Dad is throwing the plants into the kitchen to make hisContinue reading “#Writober Day 10: Voyeuristic”
#Writober Day 9: Mastering Destruction
Gregory Crewdson’s photographs are set up like movie scenes and meant to tell a story. If you would like to learn more about his work and techniques, there’s a great documentary Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters. What story do you see in this scene? Don’t forget #pessimisticmoustache!

#Writober Day 8: Hungry Tree In The Military Cemetery
This tree takes me straight to Poltergeist only these gravestones stayed in the cemetery. Any of the Poltergeist movies would be great for those of you doing the RIPXII Peril on the Screen challenge. #vss: very short story He blamed the trees for his losses; roots tripping his men; branches scratching. The trees seek punitiveContinue reading “#Writober Day 8: Hungry Tree In The Military Cemetery”
#Writober Day 7: The Upside-down
What would life be like if gravity worked backwards somehow? Or there was no gravity as we understand it? Or a race of people whose heads pulled downward created an earth in the sky? What story does this image say to you? #vss Last night, I had fun writing a very short story (a storyContinue reading “#Writober Day 7: The Upside-down”
#Writober Day 6: Abandoned Amusement Park – Scooby-Doo Where Are You?
Today’s inspiration is a location with a theme. This series of images is from an abandoned amusement park. You can choose one image from the series, several images or all of the images to inspire your story. I find photography of abandoned places fascinating. How is it that beautiful buildings crumble when humans stop comingContinue reading “#Writober Day 6: Abandoned Amusement Park – Scooby-Doo Where Are You?”
#Writober Day 4: It was a dark and scary night
I love the eerie silence of today’s image. It screams, “Something nefarious is about to happen!” If you look very carefully, you are not alone. A person and a dog are up ahead. Are they walking toward you or away from you? Do they scare you, or will they come to your aid? IContinue reading “#Writober Day 4: It was a dark and scary night”
#Writober Day 3: Cheritas, Parageusia, and Flying Elephants-Oh My!
Disney’s Dumbo aside, I think flying elephants would be terrifying. The encompassing shadows they would cast; the constant fear of “droppings.” A world with flying elephants would be a scary world indeed. Are these angels down from heaven with an ominous message? What story does this picture tell you? #vss: very short story The newContinue reading “#Writober Day 3: Cheritas, Parageusia, and Flying Elephants-Oh My!”
