COME AND PLAY! Mine is hand written-to be shared soon!
like mercury colliding...
About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a prompt photo, and your mission is to tell a story based on that prompt in 140 characters or less. If you accept the challenge, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. A final note: if you need help tracking the number of characters in your story, there is a nifty online tool that will count for you at
charactercountonline.com.
I will do a roundup each Tuesday, along with providing us a new prompt. Have Fun!
Here is our round up for this week’s prompt…a photo of a lovely, eerie, other-worldly, romantic, terrifying water-locked house on stilts set under a meteor dashed night sky. What imaginations you all have! I think this is one of my favorite twitter challenges yet. Thanks to everyone who gave it a try this week!

I stepped into my quiet place,
My favorite retreat.
The leaves still whispered in the breeze.
The birds still sang softly in the trees.
I gaze up at the blue sky,
enjoying their music.
My soul rejoices.
For this is not a place for silence.
It is the place where my soul
Can truly hear!

My bread dough rises like the sun
In a cold unleavened sky.
My heart is warmed,
My hands reaching out
To prepare the loaf it will become,
To bake,
To break,
To share.

All that glitters
can be dispersed with the wind
or carried off by a Spring breeze!
Let’s be sure to put on a fresh smile
and a thankful heart
each new day!
