In my previous post, I said I would try my hand at more flash fiction and writing prompts so here’s my take on the following.
I introduce you to Sonya’s Three Line Tales (for future reference: TLT). The rules are simple: one photo, three lines.
Without further ado…

They gathered once a year, strangers to their own flesh and blood.
Dried flowers here, set smiles there, proscribed stories hanging in midair.
Would his name ever be uttered again?

Like I said, this post is part of Sonya’s 3LinesTales. You can find the original prompt here and take on the challenge yourself. I read some really great entries including this one by Shaun over at Clockwork Clouds.

Excellent, sounds like a cross between poetry and pose. You’ve definitely captured the essence of this picture, and I can almost visualise your characters sat stiffly around the table.
Good stuff :)

No problem :) Flash fiction is a big favourite of mine, you can say a lot with very few words. It’s good practice for more developed pieces, and takes half the time to get out.

A three line tale (TLT) is an excellent idea to spark creativity. It could also be used with great success in education. Thank you!
