Season’s greetings from Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. May the holidays bring joy and happiness to you and your families.

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. As this is the last #gb4lf post before Christmas, this week’s image is in line with the season…

This week’s image is an evening winter scene. A pair of carrot nosed snowmen, possibly father and son, are dressed in blue scarves and hats standing outside a white picket fence and next to an old tree that is partially obscuring a small house filled with light in the background. To the left, a mailbox sits next to a gate adorned with a Christmas wreath and a glowing lantern hanging from the trellis above.

Be creative and have fun. I look forward to reading the tales you spin. Don’t forget to show your fellow bloggers some love -❤️- take some time to read, like, and comment on their masterpieces.
