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.

His head swam and hands shook. Four days. It had been four days since his last drink and every one of them had been a fight. He saw bottles everywhere. The fire hydrant turned into Jim Bean. The tree dangled grey goose over his head. All he had to do was reach for it, reach for another drink.

I hope he manages to continue resisting!
Here’s my entry, and thank you once again for the inspiration!
Love the accent and voice. Recently had a problem with people saying one thing and doing another. It’s hard when you want to believe the words.

Have a great week all ~ Here is my response for this reflective prompt.
I might be totally dreaming this up, but I vaugely remember a study about how prohibition was actually great for the economy because it drove it underground.

The seven men formed a line and each one took a swig from the four bottles of liquor in front of them. As they drank they said in unison
“I swear, by the fire burning in my throat, that I will enjoy this night to the fullest, that I will drink as far as my body will allow, I will dance, I will smoke and I will engage in any and all illicit and immoral opportunities presented to me. It will be a night to remember but I will NEVER speak a word of it. What happens on this night, stays on this night.”
There were some coughs from the stronger drink but they finished their words.
“Right lads.” The best man said “Lets get this stag night going.”
The Hangover!! lol
