Billybuc Photo Challenge Prompt: Installment 1

My old HP friend Sha is to blame for this new series. I’ll let her explain it in a comment she left on the last Mailbag I posted:

“Now for the question I promised in a comment to a previous post and I'll preface it by saying I'd like to get back in the writing groove in 2020. I've been MIA since I went back to work five years ago. Holy Mackerel! Five years ago???

“Back in 2013, you frequently posted contests or challenges based on picture prompts. My muse found those very motivating. She apparently loves a visual that jump starts her creative juices. I know other writers enjoyed your picture prompt challenges as well. They really helped your fellow writers spread their wings and fly.

“So, my question is this: will you consider bringing back your picture prompt challenges? They don't even have to be contests, just something to help your fellow writers exercise their creativity. I know you're really busy with your new writing endeavors, downsizing, etc. So, how about one or two challenges per month?

“What say you, my friend?”

Sha knows I won’t deny her, so here we are and here we go.

The picture prompts for your fictional short story can be found below. They must be used in the order that they appear, from top to bottom.

Each story must be a minimum of 1000 words in length.

I wish you all luck, and I hope you have fun accepting the challenge.

The photos/prompts can be found below. Each scene must be described, in some way, in your story, and, as mentioned earlier, they must be used in the order they appear.

I’m sorry, but there are no prizes for this challenge, but I do wish you all the best of luck. Have fun! And if you feel like it, please email me a copy at holland1145@yahoo.com so I can see what you’ve done.
