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 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.

Clash. Ching. Metal scraped against metal as the dark knight’s sword was deflected. Kiandra stumbled backwards. Her breath was dispelled in a quick burst as her armor failed to pad her landing. Sprawled on her back, she attempted to roll away, but the dark knight’s foot came down hard on her chest. His dagger flashed in the light, aimed at the soft flesh between her chest plate and helmet.

Patter patter patter. Quick steps on the wood dock caused Elise to sigh heavily. She was discovered, her reading now interrupted. Perhaps she should have thought of a more inconspicuous location than the middle of a lake.

“How can you spend hours reading?” her little sister asked.

‘How can you spend hours rotting your brain?’ she thought in response, but instead replied, “how can you spend hours watching TV?” No matter how spectacular the cinematography was, nothing compared to the scenes Elise’s imagination conjured.
