Four Line Fiction (2412)

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 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!

Rules and Guidelines

  • Write a four-line work of fiction to complement the image provided. How you interpret the image is up to you. Think of it as a place to start; all you have to do is take the reader on your journey.
  • There are no constraints to format. Prose, poetry, or any other form is acceptable as long as it tells a story in four lines. The length of each line is at your discretion, you do you.
  • When posting to your blog please add a pingback (link) to the Four Line Fiction challenge post and include the tags #gb4lf and #gmgblog on your post.
