  • Cases of Stories of Travels - Oct 17, '11

     

    Teri hosts a weekly writing challenge, Fiction in a Flash, in which she posts an image and asks you to write a 55 word piece - no more, no less - inspired by that image.

     
    I'm stealing her idea. :)
     
    A while back she asked us to send images for future use in case she was stuck for something, and I sent this...
     
     
     
    It's a statue in Mount Street in Liverpool, one of several dotted around that square, which I've always been fond of. Teri never did need the help she asked for (because she's good like that!), and never used the photo, but I thought I'd post the FIAF piece I wrote for the photo anyway. Hope you don't mind, Teri!
     
    Feel free to tell me where your suitcase would be headed... :)
     
     
    Cases of Stories of Travels.
     
    The exotic scents of Chinese jasmine and silk,
    Or a ketchup-drenched hot dog in New York.
    The moaning of Scottish winter pines,
    Or an apricot-ginger pancake on the banks of an Amsterdam canal.
    The business trip to clinch the deal,
    The country-cottage break to relax and heal...
     
    What story tells your suitcase?
