A tortured night, of thunder cracks and powder sparks, crawled through my city, destroying my innocence and wrecking our future.

He burst free from the abbey, an explosion, grand, yet terrifying, for no glass rained down, nothing but his dappled beauty, color for that infamous day.

I thought it just perfect since the building itself does not seem to be wrecked, nor is there glass littering the ground, so I was able to make it far more supernatural an occurrence.

I never knew what to call him, that boy within the glass.

He spoke to me, face awash with brightened color, of cornflower, grape and rose, his motions quivering the patterns cast upon the pews, yet all who heard me thought I merely spoke to my reflection.

As I was scrolling back and forth between all my pictures trying to get inspired, I began to notice similarities between a lot of them. Same dragon, different color, or backgrounds with a familiar mossy covering, all beautiful in their own right, but they tend to blur together after awhile instead of standing out.

Then I caught a few that felt as if they were linked together, stained glass joining them into a chain of stories rather than the same one over and over. So the next few are all interconnected in my mind, though you don’t have to read them that way :)

Some stumbled upon the portal, while others sought it deliberately, but none ever returned.

That choice, to follow where his love had fled or stay behind forever, tore him asunder.

The picture I used for a prompt today is a digitally altered photo that reminds me of Dune a little bit. The artist has a making of below the actual picture when you click to get a real look :)

In the waning years of my youth, I’d had a choice: to leave him, allow his evil to spread, infecting the world with its pervasive stench while I fled to safety.

Or to stay – love him with all my being so I could both save him and yet still warn the world.

Happy Halloween!

Even villains have people they love and those who love them in return. Otherwise, they’re far too easy to dehumanize and are far less fun to write.

What would your, possibly scary, two line story be? :)

An impractical costume, to be sure, but it made an impression on our conquests, and the Captain enjoyed the view.

And after our spoils were tucked below or trailing behind ship, I took pleasure in his undivided attention and his groans of pure lust.

Pretty sure this one was supposed to be published in August, given the nautical theme. Hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing summer with lots of water, maybe some sand and plenty of butterflies :) What would your two line story be?

At the first glimpse of the palace, the aches of the journey faded, the worry dimmed and his heart lifted.

For surely, someone there would remember him, at least one person would have dreamt of his return.

This is a crop of a larger picture, though I didn’t realize that when I was using it as a prompt. The larger version actually has a horseman riding along the path to the left.

“After everything I’ve taught you, all the power I know you both possess, and yet you’re still caught?”

The dean sadly shook his head.

“They’ll be no more warnings after this. If you can’t take what you’ve learned and hide your indiscretions…then there’s no room for you at this school.”

It’s like a test all of its own and they’ve been failing miserably since they’re too caught up in one another XD

The message whispered and hummed and crackled, a sizzling fire morphing upon brazen wings.

Then it dispersed, orange embers floating away, turning to ash upon the carpet, leaving him with nothing but the fading echoes of that goodbye.

Emo anime boys are a staple at this point, I’d imagine. So here’s a pretty one with a morose end (or beginning) to his love life.

Do not gravitate toward the man, thinking the similarities in body translate to like-mindedness, for that would be your undoing.

Rather, flatter his hounds, praise their aptitude and direct your requests to them, for then, and only then, will he consider you worthy as anything more than a next meal.

This was one of my favorite image prompts this year, which I’m sure does not surprise you at all, for it reminds me of a houndmaster in all his primal glory ;)

What would your two line story be for this image?

He remembered…a time when he’d been more than sand, more than rock, when he’d been lush, rife with shape and sound, though now only the silence sang to him.

Yet this…being, it promised a new land, one in need of a titan’s power to protect, to cherish…to try again.

Less romantic, unless you envision the titan reforming and willing to risk sorrow again for the love of a man, but I liked this take on the image.
