Four Line Fiction (2420)

Welcome to Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. The concept for the challenge is simple. Every second Tuesday (bi-weekly) I will post an image I have captured myself, featured from another blog or plucked from the Interweb. You as the writer are to use that image as a point of inspiration to craft a masterpiece of fiction in four lines. And now for this week’s image…

In this week’s image taken in October 2023 in war torn Gaza, a woman holds a girl clad in bright red and yellow clothing against the grey backdrop of destruction in the wake of Israeli air strikes. Palestinians faced intense bombardment following Hamas’ unprecedented attack on Israel. The photographer, Ali Jadallah, has lost four relatives in the conflict.

This week’s image has strong political overtones however I am not looking for commentary or opinion on the war in Gaza. I provided background for the image as I believed it the right thing to do in light of the photographers personal loss. However, this blog is a creative space and the image is meant to spur imagination and creativity. There are many jumping off points for the image including a post apocalyptic tale of survival, planetary upheaval half way across the galaxy, or whatever you want your story to be. The ultimate goal is to inspire writers to craft a piece of fiction.

Note: Any extreme political views or hate propaganda appearing in the comment section will be removed.

Welcome to another edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday. This hump day feature is precisely what it sounds like. Every other Wednesday (bi-weekly) I will post a graphic that is funny, poignant, witty, honest, crude, toothsome, with bite, or just plain old ridiculous. Some I’ll have plagiarized directly from a chest near you. Others may not have been spotted in the wild but should be out there.

Just in time for Mother’s Day. Of course, she did her best work when it came to baking you, but OMG what happened to the oven when she was making the other siblings…

The sisters be hating on that pesky brothers tee.
The brothers be hating on that obnoxious sister tee.

We all have that one sibling we could rock this tee for. Well, except for all you lonely, errr, I mean ‘only’ children. Although, it would make a great gift to yourself if you’ve been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder.

Suggestions are always welcome. If you come across something you believe should be pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message. If it makes the cut, I will whip up a graphic design template and use it in a future post. Any suggestions used will include a shout-out and link to your blog on the week it posts.

Everything fascinates me about space and some of the images being returned from the James Webb telescope are out of this world. This week’s tee honours Hubble’s replacement and was specifically released to coincide with Space Day. Space Day is a STEM based education day that is celebrated annually on the first Friday in May.

In addition, I have included some of the stunning photos that Webb has captured and beamed back to Earth.

This weeks photo is another aerial shot, this time it shows competitors competing in the 44th Marxa Beret Nordic ski race in Baqueira Beret, Spain. The images captures all of the racers moving from right to left, all but one following existing tracks carved into the snow on previous laps. The low angle of the sun sends elongated shadows of the skiers shooting towards the top of the image.

This weeks photo is an aerial shot of dawn redwood trees on a snowy day in Suqian, Jiangsu province, China. The burnt orange foliage and brown trunks set in contrast against the snow covered ground appear to radiate outward from a focal point near the center of the image.

In this week’s image an androgenous looking model poses at the “ON|OFF Presents … Jack Irving” showcase during London Fashion Week. The futurist design has the model carrying an over-sided blue exoskeleton that although not anatomically correct loosely resembles a human skeleton. I don’t think I’ll be wearing it to the next office party!
