Intriguing image. I love the writing on the wall and the fact that he has a wedding ring on. And what is with the black boot? So many stories behind those details!
I really enjoyed this image, and discovering the artist behind it. I've never really written like this before, where I work with surfacing the person behind the image and exposing some sort of glimpse into where it all began...thanks for such a great outlet to do this Tess!
Verrry late and haven't been here for awhile but who could resist this wonderful pic ... black dogs and I have a history, not all of it good but certainly not one I can ignore and I love this pic so much ... great prompt ...
Awe. Just picked up my three dogs from the doggie day care... we were gone for two weeks! It's great to have them back. Thanks for the intriguing prompt and I will be back tonight to read the other entries.
Happy writing my friends!
