Mommie, look there's a man sleeping in the canal with his clothes on!
There was a man, but he wasn't sleeping. The water was turning red.

Nice one Sylvia, I never would have thought of a body in the water. I am sure Susan will like this one.

OMG - Sylvia you took me completely by surprise!

It reminds me of all the times we've had to swerve around the cute little animals "sleeping" on the roads... yikes, what do you say to kids?

Oh my -- I never saw that one coming! Sounds like the beginning of a murder mystery! Very clever.

Suz said...

Terrific!!!!!!!!!!!

I never saw this coming! I was too focused on the wood carving and never even realized it was wet outside! Excellent portrait of horror and innocence.

I feel cold, so fast, from an innocent voice to a horror in 142 letters.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. But, I doubt my take would have been as superb as yours was on this pic.

Ooh, a chiller for sure! I quite like writing little stories with picture prompts. I should start doing that again!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
