Both my friends Selena and Billie Jo have started to issue weekly challenges for flash fiction on their blogs. I can’t let them have all the fun! So get ready for the Fictional Campfire challenge of the week, “Sunday Snap”.
There is a saying that a picture is worth a 1000 words. How about 500 words instead? Each Sunday I will find a photo to post. Your job (should you dare) to write a story of no more than 500 words in any genre that might be inspired by that picture. Make sure that you when you post it to your blog, you add a link back to this post. The following Sunday I’ll list all the stories submitted for the previous weeks challenge and add a new photo to inspire you. So have fun and good writing!
EDIT – Sorry I turned off the link on the pic by mistake (won’t do that next week, promise!) For those that wish to add it to their story the link is http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2656/4137273806_dc07781a1f_z.jpg

Nice one Ken! I have so many ideas already. I will have to see which one nags me the most and then I will go with it.
Look forward to reading it!

Great story Billie Jo, I like to think that love will win out in the end, and you proved it.
What a great idea! The pic is perfect…now to let something brew…..
Was looking for something a bit different (sorta like me
) !
This was an awesome inspiration. Thanks Ken! Here’s my offering!

Excellent story! I loved the use of the storyteller. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for switching on the link to the picture. I was not sure earlier but then luckily there was something similar on Google Images and so used that
