Earlier today I announced @lymmerik won my art contest with the following photograph:

• Using this photograph as a story prompt, this contest asks for original works of fiction of between 500 and 1000 words.

• It will run for 1 week and will close at midnight on the 27th October BST - click here to convert to your local time zone.

• Post a link to your story in the replies below this post.

• Upvote this post. A resteem would be appreciated but not compulsory.

The winner will receive 20 SBD plus the SBD payout from this post. Thanks to @bex-dk's generosity, who donated 10 SBD from her winnings from the last writing contest, there will be two runners up, each winning 5 SBD each.

Improve your chances, and your story, by submitting it to the fiction workshop at The Writers' Block - a community of writers and editors focussed on improving writing skills, be they fiction, non fiction, poetry, playwriting or technical writing.

UPDATE: Thanks to @jordan.lesich's generosity, the prize fund has been increased by a further 15 SBD. Therefore, the overall winner shall receive 25 SBD plus the SBD payout from this post and each of the 2 runners-up will receive 10 SBD. Thank you Jordan!

Good Luck
