Well. This was a bit of a pickle. She’d thought she’d found a shortcut when the wall panel behind her gave way, stepping into the dark passage without even thinking, the square gleam of light at the other end looking very like the visitor’s entrance. But as soon as the panel had closed behind her,Continue reading “#writephoto – The Glimpse”

#writephoto – Mine
Sue’s chosen another great shot for her #writephoto challenge this week, and here’s my take on ‘Mine’: ‘Funny place for three holes. D’you think that’s where they hung the prisoners?’ His voice echoed up through the topless tower as though we were at the bottom of a well. I tilted my head, wanting to showContinue reading “#writephoto – Mine”
#writephoto – Sirens
Sue Vincent has chosen yet another evocative photo for her #writephoto inspiration series. This time, I ended up with a couple of fragments – a poem, and a short paragraph with hints of a longer story… Out to sea, Past waves that shimmer and foam We dance Light as air, Streaming bright through skyContinue reading “#writephoto – Sirens”
#Writephoto – Silver and Black (an excerpt)
Sue has such a wonderful knack for choosing images that inspire stories. Her photo prompt this week does not disappoint and, once again, it seems to tie in with part of my own WIP. Not Ambeth – this time I’m heading back to the world of vampires, Silver and Black. And so here is myContinue reading “#Writephoto – Silver and Black (an excerpt)”
#writephoto – Still Waters
Here’s my response to Sue’s lovely photograph – her #writephoto prompt for this week: At The Closing of the Day I’d bought this place because of the view. It was never the same one day to the next; water and sky framed by the window of the ruined cottage, just a short walk from theContinue reading “#writephoto – Still Waters”
#writephoto – The Glade
I do love Sue’s photo prompts – her photos are so evocative, and she gets such a wide range of responses in different styles and genres. My response this week is… well, I guess it’s sort of a poem. I don’t fancy myself as any sort of poet, though, so perhaps it’s more, these areContinue reading “#writephoto – The Glade”
#WritePhoto – A Glimpse of Ambeth
The ground began to rise beneath them, their horses’ hooves thundering as they entered the pass leading towards Etras’ stronghold, a castle set high among the crags. Pointed towers of grey stone rose above a solid keep, black flecks swirling around one of the towers. The faint shrieking of winged Watchers could be heard, growingContinue reading “#WritePhoto – A Glimpse of Ambeth”
#writephoto – Spiral
This morning I woke to the internet being down. Completely off. A recorded announcement from my supplier when I called them assured me an ‘engineer was working to fix the problem,’ which seemed fairly typical. I use the internet most days, obviously, doing research and reading blogs, catching up on posts I’ve missed and postingContinue reading “#writephoto – Spiral”
#writephoto Challenge – In Memory Bound
‘Bind her.’ The Forest King turned away, his crown of leaves gleaming in the last light of day. She called out, keening, her branches shivering so leaves fell like rain. But it was to no avail. The vines came up from the earth around her roots, soft at first then hardening like steel, twisting, knottingContinue reading “#writephoto Challenge – In Memory Bound”
