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.

The poison dripped into the water, spreading across the bottom of the pond. The color faded as the poison dissipated. The chemical company saw the clear water and decided the parts per million must be small enough that no one would ever know.
Over the months, everything seemed fine. The company continued to make occasional trips to the pond since as of yet, no fish had turned belly up. It was not until the next generation when cancer in the town was on the rise that people noticed fish with five eyes, two heads, hearts on the outside of their bodies, and one that glowed while its ancestors didn’t.

Kind of scary! Just think if generations later strange things suddely appear. 😦
I wish people would be more responsible. I’m not a hippy willing to chain myself to a tree or anything, but I’d like to raise hypothetical children above ground.
Mmm I agree with you. 🙂
Hey Em, as usual you gave us something to think about in your lovely post.
Here is my contribution for this week:

have a nice week 🙂
Love the artwork on your blog. Sorry for the tangent. As for your contribution, loved it. Wish it had been more clear how beauty comes at a price, what she’d had to give up in order to have the gallery. Still, nice and thought provoking. Thanks for stopping by again.
Thank you 🙂
Ah I see my error, I should have maybe mentioned how she didn’t have time for relationships etc because of her career and how that’s the sacrifice she made. Thank you Ermi 🙂
Here is my little bit of writing https://scrapydo2.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/flowing-colors-picture-it-and-write/
Holy Moly. I do not doubt this kind of stuff is going on today. Everything for the sake of the dollar. Great reminder!
There’s been a crazy increase of digestive issues where my parents live and I saw an episode of toxic dumping on Drop Dead Diva or Suits, can’t remember. Saw this image and that’s where my brain went.
Yuck. That’s terrible. Awful to think we are all slowly being poisoned. 😦

I think we’ll avoid the poison gas in favor of a happy(?) little tale instead: https://parkinkspot.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/three-wishes-please/
That’s amazing! I almost fell off the sofa chuckling. This is what I love about Picture It & Write, the same image can inspire so many vastly different responses. Thanks for contributing!
