And here's the picture for the day!

| She knew they were watching, waiting for her answer. It wasn't the answer they wanted. Soon they would seal her in the tomb they had chosen. My friend from India has joined me again today. Here's hers! Everytime I go by with the bricks, she says, "A jug of wine, a loaf of bread", and THOU! she hits out with a spear through the window.... |
Maybe her captors will be so amazed at how brave she is that they will let her go!
ReplyDeleteReally good take this my friend.
Hope you have a great week ahead.
Maybe Sir Lancelot will come charging up on his white steed in the nick of time, lance the king a lot, and whisk away his princess to safety.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the truth will set her free.... :O)
ReplyDeleteWow, Sylvia--a touch of the dark and macabre this week. Well done! (I'm with Pat, hoping for the arrival of Sir-lance-a-lot!)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week--nice to see some fall sunshine in our neck of the woods, isn't it?
I think there's quite a wall developing between them :-)
ReplyDeleteNice one.
Ooh, Anthony, pun pun pun!!
ReplyDeleteSylvia, will you ever tell us the answer?
Kay, Alberta
I am sure she will be rescued in time.
ReplyDeletePoor girl! But maybe there's still a way out? I hope so. Nice MM
ReplyDeleteThose demanding people OUT THERE--and what they do! Great one, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteAt least her conscience will be clear. I'd want more than that though!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I go by with the bricks, she says, "A jug of wine, a loaf of bread", and THOU! she hits out with a spear through the window....
ReplyDeleteSylvia,
ReplyDeleteShe is giving up much too soon! Though she is so brave to just stand there so cool, calm and collected!
~Jean
She is very brave to stick to her convictions. Excellent MM.
ReplyDeleteGreat story. The artwork compliments it.

It's so much fun to see all the different takes on the same photo. Great job, Sylvia! I would like a hero to come and save her now.
ReplyDeleteI do hope someone arrives soon on his white horse!
ReplyDeleteBeen a while here.. I'm glad I'm back..
ReplyDeleteI hope I'd be that calm if someone was bricking me in because they disagreed with me!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to love a woman with some integrity... keeping secrets at the expense of her life.
ReplyDeleteoh I love this
ReplyDeletea daring choice indeed
I enjoyed them BOTH...G
ReplyDeleteOh--yours is sad, Sylvia, but I do like it. And I like the one your friend wrote, too.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the pictures that Susan chooses for us?
Have a great week. Cheers!
You know, I think if I were the Princess, I'd be sticking the pitchfork in a couple of them! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBoth are terrific! Hope the princess is saved :)
ReplyDeleteForget the prince and his white horse -- she should karate chop her way out of there while she can! Haha. Loved your take and your friend's.
ReplyDeleteI like a strong woman who knows her mind! :O)
ReplyDeleteGuess it's tough to wear a crown. ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth are great. Hopefully she'll figure out how to escape :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the quiet strength of your character -- and I love the spear-hurling spirit in your friend's!
ReplyDeleteGeez, I didn't even notice there were people outside the window until I saw it this big. LOL. But I love both of your stories! Strong women.
