Picture it & Write

Sorry this is late. Due to Ermisenda’s absence, I am leading the prompt every week instead of every other week and it’s been hard to keep on top of it.

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).

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.

“What do you suppose is up there? If you could step onto the plumes and walk into the stars? Is there a higher being waiting for us? Are there pearly or golden gates from which we will be turned away? How long would it take to walk out of the atmosphere? How fast could you slide back down if you changed your mind?”

I listened to Carolyn ramble, her words going in one ear and out the other. Fireflies I decided, thinking of Timon and Pumbaa. If I walked up on the clouds, I would find fireflies.

You Need More Than This by *tntrekabulator

The pills glowed. It shone so bright I wondered whether it was in fact a capsule full millions of stars, threatening to burst from the plastic cage. My fingers shook as I reached out and took the pills from the man.

“Got the money?” he asked.

I nodded and handed the hundreds my father had stuffed into my pocket. The man with the strange robotic third hand scampered away.

In the darkness of night, alone and shivering from the cold, I gripped the bottle. I popped open the lid. I knew my father would beat me to death if I took any of his pills. I wasn’t sure if it was really happening or I was starting to lose it too, but inside was a galaxy of supernovas. The sight burned my eyes.
