This week’s writing prompt comes courtesy Kevlin Henney, who posted this photo on Facebook earlier this week, and has given permission to me to repost it here.

To me it serves both as a work of art and a story prompt.

Kevlin’s explanation for the shot was: “Just found lying on the ground on the way to school this morning.”

Who might have lost this chain on their commute? What implications may it have had on the rest of their journey? Who and what might they have encountered as a result of this mishap?

If you write or create something prompted by this, please send an email to Judy(at)socket creative.com to let me know. With your permission, I’ll publish it on SkyLightRain.com.
