I (Eliabeth) am tremendously sorry, especially to Ermisenda, for missing last week. I’ve set aside time to write them early from now on so that Ermisenda won’t have to jump in again.
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.
I’m very sorry but in order to continue to help Ermisenda add new and engaging content consistently, I may be unable to reply to every contribution. This has become so popular that I’m just unable to keep up. Thank you for understanding.

What if it had been a boy who went down the rabbit hole? Would he blindly eat and drink just because a label told him to? Would he follow the advice of a hookah smoking caterpillar? What if it had been little girls trapped on the island with the Lord of the Flies? Would the priority have been killing pigs or keeping the fire going? What happens when you flip a world upside down?

Ours doesn’t have anything graphic in it, but I’ll give it an MA warning for those who might be sensitive about harsh language.
Your characters are spirited and well written. I enjoyed this tale very much.
Hi Eliabeth! Glad you’re back 🙂

Oh my goodness, I swear there are so many people who would do that. I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to someone talk and wondered how they managed to get dressed all by themselves.
A mash-up this week! http://starvingactivist.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/picture-it-write-25-august-2013-meets-saturday-centus-175-hobby-of-the-gods/
Hit for sure. Though I don’t know why everyone thinks something happened, that road looks completely normal, no? LOL
What if I were to say that this is a thought-provoking piece with a twist of fantasy?
Here’s mine:

Great description all of the way through. I particularly liked, “The signpost looked like it had been caught in a hurricane whilst being mauled by a bear.”

Hi, Do find mine below:

I like seeing this revelation with a male character. I usually see it played out with a female. “If Rose could not spot his merits, it was her problem. He would wait for the right girl, but never give up his self-esteem for anything or anyone.”
