“You need to stop seeing these things!” My father grabbed me roughly by the shoulders and shook me. “You need to close your eyes and tell yourself that they’re not real. I don’t care how real they look. I don’t care how tempting it can seem to walk towards them. You do not go near those archways of Satan! Do you understand?” I kept staring out into the forest. Where did those archways lead?
I felt my father’s hands grab my chin. He snapped my head around to face him. My gaze fell on his anger-lit eyes. They were still there. The archways were in his eyes too.

I LIKE this. Nice and spooky. ❤ Creepy too.
Thanks! 🙂 I do love myself some creepy photos and stories.
Yes that is a wonderful prompt~ I like your response Ermisenda, very clever and apt. ~
Thanks, John! I look forward to reading yours.
Very emotive image, moody and surreal (my word of the moment). Love your work, as always.
I love the word surreal. 😀 Thanks, Lee-Anne. 🙂 You’re so sweet.

OOo I love the idea of it being the road to Saturn. I also like the idea of each one transporting people across time and space. Very cool. Thanks for contributing, John. 🙂

The story has a mystic touch to it. So does the picture. My take on the picture prompt:

Very cool. I loved the opening line, “Your tender feet treading thorns and thickets”. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Ruby!

What a captivating little story. I wonder what happened to the lady photographer! You wrote that scene to life. Very easy to picture. Thanks for contributing, Rachael. By the way, your blog banner/header is gorgeous.
Thank you Em 🙂 Ha ha, I seem to be getting loads of comments for my header :p

The horror. I wondered at the end ‘What if they are real, and she walks through one because she has her eyes closed?’
Haha. Coffee beats elves and other magical creatures? Not for me. But chocolate would send me back to our ‘grey’ world in a heartbeat. 😀 Cute response!

I see the forest path as slightly more tragic. Definitely magical, though.
Come back nymph! I like the idea of these circles being portals into other worlds. Thanks for contributing. 🙂
