Inspiration is everywhere - street art really triggers that in me too. Cerys is a very pretty name by the way :-)
Yeah, I once knew a girl called Cerys. Part of the inspiration for this comes from old memories.
Ha ha, the other part comes from the street art. I couldn't create such awesome urban art if my life depended on it but I really like hunting it out in the city. These pictures came from a hidden spot I'd never found before. I was out looking for a bike repair shop which has now closed down and behind where it used to be I found all this graffiti work. As you said... Inspiration is everywhere :-)
Thanks for checking out my flash fiction Rosa :)
I love street art, fascinating to me and I always take photos whenever I discover it. nice work with the phone.
Me too. I have an enormous collection from various places, especially my trip to Spain a few years ago.

Very nice, @raj808! I love how micro-fiction can capture a mood and the sensation that something big has happened, without revealing and telling all. It's like a savory bite with layers of flavor.
Is this for the 50-word short contest? If so, be sure to add your link to the contest post. If not, wow what a coincidence that you used the prompt word! :-)
Hi @jayna. So sorry I forgot to drop the link. Yes it was for the 50 word comp. I am so forgetful but this time I had mitigating circumstances ;-)
I was out in town when I wrote this, at the spot where I took the pics, and i wrote it then on partiko. When I got home and put it through a quick cheeky edit on steemit I forgot to go and do the necessary. I'll get it right this week ;-)
Thanks for the mention in the announcement post :)
Ha ha, no worries! I assumed that was the case. I’m glad you’ve joined the Fifty Worders!

hey @raj808, I love street art and these pictures you took are very nice, which phone are you using?
What a nice way to combine street art pics with words dedicated to memories of that girl in a contest... well done!
Hi @el-cr. How's things? Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the street art and flash fiction story. I like to get inspiration from pictures and places. The place I took these pictures was tucked away in a spot where not many people go and this sort of fed into the sad break up narrative of the story. Like the lonely spot inspired a bitter-sweet tale of love.
Anyway, the phone I've got for photography is a pretty rubbish budget one called motorolla moto E (2nd Generation). However this review I found seems to say it is decent for a budget phone.
