Sunday Photo Fiction – November 6th 2016

Sunday Photo Fiction

The idea of Sunday Photo Fiction is to create a story / poem or something using around about 200 words with the photo as a guide. Please try to keep it as close to the 200 words as possible.

Once you have written and posted your story, please add the link to the inlinkz froggy icon below and add it to the collection so we can all have a read. Any links that are not related to Sunday Photo Fiction will be deleted.

The main object is to have fun.
