Invitation to a Short Tale


PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIARY: Once upon a time...

Somehow, the enigma of this photo, the field of sunflowers, the little house, alone at the top of the hill, is the invocation for a story whose characters and plot are lost. Two people I showed it to found it, "disturbing," but were unable to say what disturbed them.

I would be indebted to anyone who might be able to say what happened here, once upon a time. The next TODAY'S will not appear until next weekend, and I hope by then someone will have helped me unwind the tale.

Can't think of anything, but I like the picture.

Probably a murder most horrid and the ghosts are still trapped in there.

Having said that, I would love to live there. An absolutely delightful little hideaway for writers.

I like the photo. I think the enigma of it is the buildings being so similar and so close. Definitely makes me want to ask more of what I can't see.

Dick, Monique, and Diana- Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on the mystery. Now you know my own answer, but there's room for as many answers as their are viewers.
