Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.
Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

“Go!”
It’s always better to jump right in. Even though the cold swallowed me up, sending a shock through my system. It’s better than bouncing up and down on tip toe, starting at the ankles, then the knees, then the waist. That only prolongs the cold.
Everyone sped off toward the other side of the pool in an unspoken race. Swimming laps was the fastest way to get warm. I would have joined them, but something else caught my attention. There was a toy lodged in the drain. We didn’t have any pool toys, so I wasn’t sure where it came from. Had one of the neighbors accidentally thrown it over the fence?
As I looked closer, I saw eyes and a girl smiled at me. The hole wasn’t big enough for me to follow her, but I was sure I’d seen something special.

The boy slowly immersed himself in the water, feet first then knees, slowly up to his neck. Scrunching his eyes closed and with a deep breath he submerged himself fully. He opened his eyes as something brushed his leg, he looked down searching for the culprit, nothing was there. Something hard yet soft, brushed his leg then he swished round looking for an explanation. There in front of him was a blue haired boy with a tail of a fish. He blinked and he was gone.
Thanks for commenting. I love fantasy submissions.

I finally got around to doing another one of these. I have mixed it with a music prompt. I hope that is okay.
Mine is called Sinking
I finally got my entry published to my blogs. Sorry about the late post. Here’s How long can you hold your breath? http://kimizzyscorner.blogspot.com/2013/12/pictue-it-write-how-long-can-you-hold.html

I apologize. I link to the original when I can. This one I found on Pinterest uploaded directly so there was no path to follow. I have removed it per your request, but I’d love to use it or some of your others with your permission and a link back to your work if you’re okay with that.
