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 symmetrical image, a woman walks across a slush covered Brooklyn Bridge with her back to the camera. She is holding a purple umbrella, which stands out against the near monochromatic background, to shield herself from the falling snow.

This week’s image is a pair of Keen (no I am not receiving any kind of advertising revenue) hiking boots that are walking on air about six inches above the trail. Furthermore, there is no one wearing the brown leather boots with clean black soles. Well perhaps the invisible man, but that is unconfirmed.

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.

November 12th, 1833 is known at “The Night the Stars Fell.” On that night a meteor shower blanketed North America with an astonishing display. One Illinois newspaper described the sky as “being ablaze” another from Alabama eloquently described the event as “Thousands of luminous bodies shooting across the firmament in every direction.” It is estimated some 72,000 meteors fell from the heavens per hour. Today we know the November meteor event as the Leonids. It occurs as every year as Earth passes through debris left in the wake of the Tempel-Tuttle comet. The display peaks in intensity every 33 years though none have rivaled the 1833 event.
This week’s image is taken from a hand drawn newspaper image from the period. The image shows settlers from a small town looking up into the heavens as shooting stars fill the night sky, like rain falling from above.

Welcome to Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. It has been difficult to keep up with this feature that disappeared mid-summer. I brought it back two weeks ago as a bi-weekly but with a promotion at work and other commitments it is dropping two days late this week. My apologies to all those who follow along. It will return to its normal Tuesday 9:00am Eastern Time (Canada/United States) time slot two weeks from now.
The concept is the same. 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.

This week’s image depicts messy-haired boy (my boy) sitting at a restaurant table. His mouth is wide open waiting for that next spoonful of ice cream he has lifted to his lips. The image has been processed using an icy blue duotone filter with the text “I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM” printed in block font across the bottom of the image.
