Hush the soundless

a moment’s glance led

to ungathered finalities

faded photos of ago

mark questionable times

omens dwell in the moment

only if embraced

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #243

Prompt – Situations – not always to our liking – keep developing across the world. We may want to switch off the television at times. Or we may be inspired to reflect on situations with a story or poem.

Yes, we have a situation prompt this week. You can choose between the two situations, just in case one does not fire you enough.

Situation 1

Your character finds an old, disposable camera on the ground. They get the photos developed. What they see tells an unsettling story.

Situation 2

The doorbell rings and your character answers it – finding nothing but an envelope with nothing on it. They open it and follow the instructions.

  7. Your thought-provoking poem and Prompt 1 stir this memory: Years ago when I was A Social Services area manager one of the social workers found a camera containing an unexposed film in the effects of the father of a boy in care. I was asked to develop and print it. It contained the only photographs in existence of the father.
