Now this is the fact of it, Mam, when we found him he was just sitting starring at this jam jar which as you can see is full of batteries. He was mesmerised like. There was a reporter’s note pad and a fancy silver pen to one side of him, and a computer set to contact a Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. We checked the battery’s for clue’s, nothing there. The newest battery was dated March 2015. So far Mam he has said very little, except, that he can not come up with the answer, he seems perplexed by the image. Mam.

Too funny. It was a challenging prompt to work from, wasn’t it? I like what you did with it.
Dear Micheal,
Contact has been made.;) I hope you don’t mind the grammar nittpickiness of herself. Batteries is plural, not possessive, therefore ‘batteries’ not ‘battery’s.’ Reporter’s notepad is possessive, therefore you may take an apostrophe and from the batteries and give it the reporter. “Reporter’s…” Jones needs no apostrophe either. My work is done here. Clever non-story. I enjoyed the humor.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I second Rochelle’s comments.
This is probably amusing, but I found the apparent randomness of apostrophes and commas quite distracting.
Good luck with all that bath/carpet/ceiling repair/work. Seems ‘writing’ is a dangerous pastime, at times.
LOL…I totally get that!
I looked at the picture, said, “Mmm” and “Mmm” and “Mmm” again and took off for my aerobics a dn Zumba classes. While flying through the air with greatest of un-ease, I came up with a story. I love how you took care of the “Mmm” issue. Good luck with repairs.
Ha.. since I had written to the picture before, I just went back… but sometimes these images can leave you staring for for inspiration.
I think we’ve all been there before. Clever take on the prompt.
I enjoyed this story — very creative and clever take on the prompt!
Hahah! Such a clever take on the prompt. I have to admit that the idea for mine came almost immediately, but there have been several times I’ve looked at the photo and fallen into a drool-inducing stupor. Nice work!
HIlarious! I love the take. See, it feels good to do this no matter what.
Sometimes that happens. You have no choice but to write about her then.
Funny …
That was fun. This week’s prompt gave me trouble, too. Great idea to solve it as you did.
Sitting staring blankly at a picture on a screen – now that sounds familiar. You’ve done well to turn the experience into a story.
