I urge 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 (provide a translation please 
). 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.
Every fortnight we hope to host a photograph suggested by contributors. So, keep those photograph recommendations coming. Submit your favourite images (with credit) for next week’s Picture it & write!
The burning sun crept over the horizon. The heavy silence hushed my trembling whimpers. The tendrils of the unwavering fog caressed the bridge. My shivering hands grasped the rails and peered over, it was a kilometre drop at the very least. I pulled back and pushed away the stubborn tears that leaked from my eyes. I watched as my father trudged into the fog. If only I hadn’t been so rash… he wouldn’t of taken the fall for my actions. “Please come back,” I begged. It was the last time I ever saw him. The fog never returned its victims.

Oh so sad…..!
The picture conjured up similar feelings for me too…
Here is my offering for this week… It is so sad; however it is reality for so many… sad

Awesome, Carolyn. Very sombre but powerful. Thanks for contributing this week. I’m glad you enjoyed my story too.
Im walking high and proud.
Through my mind.
Deep beneath me rest
my insecuritiesand my issues.
Walking past the railing
I am trailing my life.
Do keep walking high and proud.
Or do I give in to the deep.
– Otheus
Nice poem, Otheus. I like your contrast from ‘high and proud’ and the ‘deep’ where their insecurities and issues lie. Thanks for contributing!
Excellent metaphor!
Is the bridge a dream, carrying us above the mists of reality? It allows us the failure to peak at the unknown depths of what flows on beneath. Ignorance they say is bliss. Bliss they say is heaven. Heaven is above what’s below; now perhaps it’ll start to make sense. The art of the Escapist, above or below, is always escaping.
“allows us the failure” is an interesting line!
A nice conceptual piece. Thanks for contributing!
My first impression was to write a response from the father’s point of view, why he had to leave his son and cross the bridge, but as usual, my second impression prevailed. Here’s The Waiting Room.
A beautiful ending. The things one does for true love… Thanks for contributing this week!
here is my writing prompt, Ermilia
A great story, Terri. It’s such a shame that their love could not be. How can true love be forbidden? Thanks for contributing this week!

The fog never returns its victims… indeed.
The Bridges of Men
A great political piece. Very powerful. I would imagine it’d be hard to write in play-form but you did it wonderfully. Thanks for contributing this week!

Sad but lovely writing 🙂 I really enjoyed your piece this week.
This one is mine for this week: http://samiisabelle.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/picture-it-write-through-the-fog/
I definitely missed doing these while I was away! I hope all is well on your end!
😀
Oh, so lovely. This is one of the few stories which has a happy ending. Great work. Touching. Thanks for contributing this week, Sam!
You are very welcome and thank you so much for the kind words! 🙂
How sad and wistful. But lovely still.
Here’s mine: http://neuroticirony.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/the-borderline/
Thanks. I love your final sentence. Incredibly powerful. Thanks for contributing!
I love this! Thanks so much! I already stole your pic from this week as well as your logo and will be jumping on board. What a wonderful idea!
Great to hear another writer will be joining us. I hope to hear from you soon!

Ohh that was so touching! Heartbreaking. Love your little paragraph 🙂 Will be writing mine asap!
Oo, I loved the cinematic ending with the fog covering them and erasing the evidence. I can’t wait for another installment. Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂

I belatedly realised how much this week’s picture reminded me of a certain movie.
Here’s my part: http://discoveriesinaletterbox.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/the-visionary-of-a-post-apocalyptic-era-38-picture-it-and-write/
I agree with Anne, there are some great concepts that would work great for a fleshed out story. Very intriguing. Thanks for contributing!
I have read all the stories and poems, well done all! Here is mine: http://musingsfromtheturnippatch.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=425&action=edit&message=6&postpost=v2

Hey! Here is my contribution for this week:
Wow. A very dark ending. I like the build up though and the repetition of how much she loved her mother. Great contrasts. Thank you for contributing this week!
Here is my rather late contribution. http://rainbowheartlove.wordpress.com/2012/08/18/the-bridge-of-contemplation/
It also reminded me of a movie too. It reminds me of It’s a Wonderful life when the man character is on a bridge planning to kill himself until his angel jumps first.
Now, I will read some of your stories.
The torture of solitude. A great piece about wanting to be with another. It’s never too late to contribute and I’m glad you did!

Sorry about being a little late with this one but I had an idea in my head and had to run with it.
Enjoy
