Story Time Sunday with @aweber - Photo Games Week 1 Day 7
TODAY’S GAME = Tell us a story!
1 SBD Prize
The idea is simple: we share a photo, and you write a short story based on what you see in that photo.
There are no length requirements, but we’re looking for something original from you - not a quote or a quick phrase. So grab a beverage of your choice, sit down and let your creativity flow!
Each of the Photo Stars will pick their favourite and award the author with the SBD prize.
Fix It Friday and Show Off Saturday are still ongoing!
While you're developing your photo-story, don’t forget that there are two contests still open for participation! Fix It Friday, where you edit one of our photos, ends tomorrow, and Show Off Saturday, where you share your Red themed photos with us, is open until Tuesday - there are lots of SBDs to be won, and despite the recent market crash they still have value! ;-)

He didn't know how long he's been down in that stinking rat-warren. Had it been days... no it couldn't have been that long.
Time had frozen, like the ice Marcus felt in his veins when he had first caught the sound.
It had been furtive that first time... like slipping whispering feet padding in the oozing filth.
Marcus froze. The steps in the darkness froze in concert. Pause, wait, breathe.... nothing.
"Get a grip on yourself... you just need to get out, stay focussed," Marcus thought to himself as hunger gnawed and clawed away in his belly... a crow pecking at him from inside, the agony growing with each hour.
"Just keep moving... you got to get out" he said to himself just to hear the sound of his own voice. A friend in the cold, dark tunnel... a reminder that he yet drew breath. "Gotta keep moving," as he stepped out one more alone in the long dark.
There! Again there! It was no imagination, no trick of his senses...Something was coming.
Searching for something, anything in that darkness Marcus' hands went up one wall, down another.
A pipe... a stick... Marcus' mind raced... Anything, anything at all was better than facing whatever was scraping and scuttling, sloshing in the murk that ran the length of his world. Now approaching, all pretense for stealth cast aside.
"Run? No... where? Where can I run... I can hardly see. Fight? With what?" Marcus' churning mind seeking options, his body locked in indecision.
With footsteps now tearing down that echoing cavernous tube, Marcus turned. Determined to face whatever may come next, He faced his fear.
His courage a beacon that shone as the sun, Marcus faced his doom with head held high.
The King In The Hole
Fearless has he looks, without a pitied heart, a man of his own army. He is confident, strong, a king who runs his own clan, his own territory, he has nothing to lose. No one ever sees his face, he prefers to stay anonymous, the hole passage remains a mystery scene, no one could explain the mystery light. Maybe he's an angel, maybe some kind of a god, maybe just maybe he is who he is.
We'll find out as time goes by.
Inside
Everyone on this planet has secret power on their own. Some can find that some die without knowing it. It's hard to live alone but not impossible because impossible itself mean i m possible. So when nobody around you and all the way you are alone take your secret power to stand and look forward. There always a way out from where you stuck.
This image means to me if you want you can have it.
"No no no!! Not again! How does he do that??". The night after I managed to have the luckiest escape, there was no escaping this. My eyes were hurting from the bright light that woke me up from my sleep. There he was, my living nightmare. I could hardly see his face. No way to run now... How did he find me here? Did I leave a trace? Did he follow me?
If he would start running... That would be the end, my end... I knew it, this was the moment that I was going to die. If only this was only a dream and I was still asleep... or was I?
So there I was, exploring the long forgotten tunnels of Columbus, Ohio. I'd been wandering for hours, yet it seemed like days, but like a good boy scout, I came prepared with enough water to last a full day. Problem is, I drank that day's supply in the first 30 minutes. Do you know what happens when you drink a gallon of water in 30 minutes?? Correct! Nature calls. So what do you do? Well, you make the the once dried up tunnels run again, like the mighty Mississippi.
The end.
