They had beaten and abused me. They had spat in my face and stuffed my mouth full of dirt. Those men were the same who had taken advantage of a teenager who had run away from home. My chest rose and fell as my breathing doubled in speed. I felt her cool finger tips crawling along my back like a spider. I wasn’t a weakling anymore, I was strong. Bite marks were still fresh on my skin as she had lustfully devoured me. The men were outside the dirty country bar, as they were every night. Part of me wanted to walk away but her desires were now mine. I felt her luscious lips open, as if they were my own, and whisper, “kill them.”

Very nicely done, Ermi. I really like the way you built up to the title of the picture!
Thanks, Annie. I tried to make it suspenseful. 🙂
Wow, powerful, I enjoyed it. Here is my meager attempt. 🙂 Fun prompt.

Thank you! Ooo, I wonder what happened next. I like that although the image suggests that the woman is the “leader”, you have reversed it a bit. Great finish, it leaves us wondering. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write. 🙂

I really liked your piece this week! Your line “I felt her cool finger tips crawling along my back like a spider.” gave me the chills. Great work!
My piece was inspired by yours I hope you don’t mind 🙂 http://samiisabelle.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/picture-it-write-red/
Oh, thank you! Of course I don’t mind. 🙂 I love the final sentence, these words are so perfectly chosen – ‘Crimson makes him feel and to feel he’ll create this violent art of revenge for her.’ Very dark. Thanks for contributing this week, Sam!

Enjoy!

Ooo, very nice. I like how his perception of the woman changed so drastically. I suppose it is better this way, as oppose to torture. A thought-provoking story, Joe. Thanks for contributing this week!
I enjoyed doing this again! http://mythoughtsonthesubjectareasfollows.wordpress.com/2012/09/23/welcome-home/
Saucy! So different to how I first interpreted the photograph. An interpretation I didn’t mind reading at all. You… uh… wouldn’t be writing anymore anytime soon would you? 😉 Thanks for contributing this week!

A great read as usual,Ermisenda….
And, here is my little contribution for this week. Once again, I saw humor, and couldn’t resist having a little play….

Thanks for the complement! 🙂 I wouldn’t have picked a funny story out of this picture. I think you did a great job. I love the dead-pan expression. He isn’t impressed. 😛 Great work and thanks for contributing this week!
Just messing about, as usual.

Oh, I love the way you described the colour, “posioned cherries”. Perfect! Thanks for contributing this week, Marie. 🙂

It’s great to read a story that puts emphasis on the little things. The little things are very important! I also liked the idea of them being clones. Great writing, Terry. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write!
I must confess this picture didn’t inspired me at all… I’ve been struggling with it for some time, now. I think it’s because evoke some vampire related feeling on me. And there’s the same dark tone, like the last one…
But I finally did it, hahaha. Gonna post it tomorrow, cause I already posted something today. Hope you will like and thanks for the challenge!

Sorry I’m so late this week…. here’s The Watchman. Back later tonight to catch up.
Oh, this Watchman sounds delightful. I would love for you to continue this story. I also liked the fairytale edge of having the kiss bring him back to life. Such a great idea. Lovely writing as always, Annie. Thanks for contributing this week!

Late too, but here is mine > http://cenicitas.com/2012/09/26/nightmare/
This was surprisingly romantic and I like that you led us on until the last sentence. I love your style of poetry. Thanks for contributing this week, I hope the next picture will inspire you faster than this one. Yes, I tend to pick dark photographs. Maybe Eliabeth will pick a lighter one for the next two weeks. We have decided to rotate recently. 🙂

I love how the beginning of her name changed from Ducl(e) to Pain. Ducle meaning sweet, at least according to Spanish. Good work and thanks for contributing this week!
Your wrote beautifully. Here’s my take on the picture prompt :
http://scraps-from-life.blogspot.in/2012/09/faith.html
I have a terrible time trying to comment on Blogspot. One of Google’s many failures, like missing the Jetson’s 50th birthday. Anyway, I liked the verse in this piece and I really liked this thought it evoked:
Blind faith always prevails in the eyes of the blind.
Thanks. I agree with Annie, Blogspot is a pain to comment on. A great story looking at how science and faith don’t always link up. I love the name “Elvira” for a group of people. Thanks for contributing this week, Ruby!
Thank you Anne and Ermilia. It is so good to hear such encouraging words from you both.
I’m already late in posting something, but I will soon.
No worries! 🙂
Finally finished! Here it is: The Mistress

Thanks for sharing the link again! There is some very powerful evocative writing in this story, M.O.K. Great work. I really loved how you made the effort to point out ‘the sucking sound’, it made me cringe. I could vividly hear it. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, and I hope to see your work again soon! 🙂

“I’m powerful but yet powerless.
I used to be the nicest person on Earth, but that was before I met Lucy.
She was the best thing that ever happened to me.
She and I were a team, but ever since she fed on me.
I feel like she knows she can get her way with me.
I don’t want to be her slave, but how can I deny her?
She’s undead beautiful and has me wrapped around bloodless heart. “
A great entry, gotmeghan. I like how it reflected my story but in a more poetic perspective. Thanks for contributing!
