VisDare 13: Atmospheric

Sometimes atmosphere is as important - or more so, than what is present.

I think this week's dare can be taken in any one of a dozen different directions.

Can't wait to see what stories crop up this week!!

If you're new to the VisDare....check out the rules, listed below the photo.

(Don't worry - there aren't many. Main thing is to have a great imagination!!)

Check it out!

VisDare 12: Waiting

As I schedule this week's VisDare, I am waiting for a lot of things.

Waiting for certain things in life to move on and leave me alone.

Waiting for other things to come.


Waiting on people,
                               the mail,
                                              appointments,
                                                                      promises to be fulfilled.


Everyone's waiting for something.


What are you - or your characters - waiting for?

Give it in 150 words and let me know!!

VisDare 11: Whorl

And now --- for a leap into the abstract.

Snails are one thing. This is --- well, I can't wait to see what you guys come out with this.

Some of you "add-on" storytellers might not be able to use this one; others of you will have a hey-day with it. (*cough*SimonAndHisTimeTravelingUmbrella*cough*)

You poets should have ample "scope for imagination" as well. Your poems seem to take a more abstract interpretation of the photo prompts anyway, so this week's should fit that nicely.

And if you're a "one-off" flash fic storyteller? GREAT. You guys are the ones who keep me surprised, because I never know where you're going to take me next.

Soooo......here's your prompt!

VisDare 10: Whimsy

The VisDare photos have been all over the map lately.

From picture-walkers...

          ...to subway cats...

                    ...to lonely souls in an empty square...

                              ...to...SNAILS.


HAHA, um....yes. We're going for WHIMSY this week.


Use the following photo prompt and 150 words to fuel your:

          ~ one-off story creation

                    ~ poem (love that I've got a couple poets who regularly haunt this challenge)

                              ~ oorrrrrrrr your "add-on" story that I know several of you are doing.


And for you "add-on" people who're writing about:

     a naughty child trapped in a magical snow-globe...

          a husband-wife team who've joined the hordes of the undead...

               a neurotic homebody finally coaxed into the city, only to find it deserted...

                    a mother trying to summon the courage to open her deceased son's journal...

                         a man who's emerged into a world of light he's never known...

                              a man who's just killed his father, but still trapped by memories...

                                   a gal whose deal with a tree sprite has gone maddeningly sideways...

                                        or a time-traveling umbrella that won't let its Victorian owner alone...

...I WANT TO KNOW MORE!! All of you are amazing! WRITE ON!
