@tinypaleokitchen won my art contest, calling for a piece of artwork or photograph to be used as a story prompt for this contest. This is the winning photograph.

Rules

• Using this photograph as a story prompt, write a piece of original fiction with between 500 and 1000 words.
• Post a link to your story in the replies to this post.
• Upvote this post. A resteem would be nice, but not compulsory.
• The contest will end October 10th at 23:59 BST - check here for your local time-zone

The winner of my last contest was @thinknzombie who decided to award his prize, plus a little extra, toward this contest. Therefore, the winner will receive 20 SBD plus the SBD payout from this post and two runners up who will each win 5 SBD each.
