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.

Every fortnight we hope to host a photograph suggested by contributors. So, keep those photograph recommendations coming. Submit your favourite images (with credit) for next week’s Picture it & write!

The cold tiles against my toes sent a shiver down my spine. I curled my painted hands over the tub. I sometimes wished, in times like these, that I could push against all sides of the bath until the ceramic shattered. Pearl white shards would be chased by waves of dirty bath water. Why could I not face the outside world once again? Rather than enjoying the warm summer breeze, I was sitting in my own filth. I continued to defile the purity of the bath until the water turned cold.
