Day 16 of Free Write: Wooden Duck Photo Prompt
*Credit to @marinaart for the photo
So this is my first free write that I am doing for a photo prompt. I think is is the first time that a photo has been used for a free write anyway if I read the prompt correctly. I feel like this would be better suited for people that choose to write short stories for their free write...but I am going to attempt to just talk about the photo and what emotions get emitted from myself when I look at it.
This is definitely one of the more unique looking illustrations that I have seen since there is so much to be going on with it. My initial thoughts when looking at it remind me of the weird dystopian society movies where everything ends up being an alternate reality than what we have. In this weird alternate reality I guess homes are shaped as ducks. Did I mention that I feel like this large duck looks to be a home of sorts? I guess the small little windows are one thing that leads me to believe this, but the main factor that is really pushing it actually is the large telescope at the top of it. I'm struggling to remember what game or cartoon it was from, but I recall the characters having some sort of weird shaped home base where they had a telescope as big as that at the top of it!
The umbrellas at the side are a whole other thing that could be talked about. I imagine them to be covering people that have come to view the glory of this new duck home perhaps. The one thing that I am struggling to explain in all of this is why it is raining on all the people with umbrellas but the duck home seems to be safe. I guess I have seen it once every few times where I can see in the close distance where it is raining while it is not raining where I am standing. I guess that could be the case in this instance! Besides the duck and umbrellas, the only thing that I cannot really explain and did not spend much time looking at for this photo is the rolling device below the duck. I really have no words to describe that one!
Well I sort of just started typing away once my five minutes began, probably not one of my best free writes but it was something different to try. If you want to give this one a try then check below!

YOU did GREAT :D REALLY great!! I love how you described it all so well and what you were thinking :D
Well thank you!
Why surely it must be a mobile home. Get tired of sitting in one place, the owner pulls it elsewhere. Or, if there gets to be too big of a puddle from the never-ending gather of people, they must be able to move a few feet or so :-)
I like your way of thinking! Gotta be it.
That's what is motivating me to improve my writing. Verbally I can sing a lyric, write a poem or very short story. But for some reason I struggle putting it in writing. And most come right off the top of my head :-)
This is a very interesting freewrite! It does appear to only be raining over the umbrellas. It kind of looks like a boat. Not sure, but they could be rolling it out to sea :D Good job. Thanks for sharing!
Ooh I didn't even think about them sending it back out to sea like that!
A good take on a difficult prompt. Well done
Happily today's is less challenging:

I love that you gave it a try!! Freewriting is all about stretching ourselves and knowing that no matter what comes out of the session - it is fine :)
