Picture This!

And now we are back with much pictured today. I guess all have their cameras out and are ready to get instaneedy. What? The name kinda stuck. Did you picture it yet? No? Are you picturing the "like me. like me!!!!!!!!!!!!" people? They may be the stuff of nightmares. Better get on with it before the nightmares become real.
Has a single photo or work of art ever inspired a story? What was it and did you finish it?

Ummm. Is this a trick question? Are you new to my blog? Are 3000+ posts too hard to go through? Okay, I'll answer now. Big YEP! Easy as can be. Can write a story out of any photo I see. May be long. May be short. But I can still write a retort. May be in rhyme. May be not. Either way, can think up a plot.


It came from the grass. The same plot that was once barren of life. Just the way I liked it. That was where she deserved to be. But her corpse had to go and spring life. Worm food to grass. Grass to flowers. Flowers to bees. Boy, do I hate nature. Almost as much as I hate her.
At least I can spring forth life worthy of something. Anything from her is a snake in the grass. That snake. It never would have been there if I hadn't put her there. Why couldn't I have dumped her in the river? No fish would bite me. Not a one. But a snake. A damn, dirty snake. Who knew I was allergic to snake bites? Her! I bet that is her reincarnated. Coming as her true self. She came back for revenge. Screwed me in life and screwed me in death. That...
See? Easy as can be. Pulled a random photo from my stash and away I went with what popped in first. Are you allergic to snakes? Ever bury anyone in the woods? Might not want to answer the latter. Can you pop out a story from a picture too? Yeah. The snake hissed while I was taking its photo. I think it was rather miffed that I was afraid.

Enjoy life, forget the strife.
