My category ‘Pictures & Stories’ are posts with me writing a fictional, creative short story about a picture.
The Request –
‘Hey, can you hear me?’
‘I speak, but no one listens.’
‘I have this itch, and I am unable to reach it. With my extremities buried I am unable to scratch it, can you help?’
As usual there was no response to the request. As usual they would walk by, take photos and leave. The request was never heard and the itch continued and additional requests were made in vain. Sadness wore on the face as time continued and no response was received. Suddenly out of nowhere, there was the relieve, the request would not go without a response. It emerged out of the sand with a hand, the scratching would take place and the itch would be gone.
‘Oh, thank you my friend.’
‘Without you my days of agony would have continued.’
There was no response from that which had emerged out of the sand.
‘Hey, can you hear me?’

Wherever you got this photo – this looks like an illustration to a classic Russian poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila” by Pushkin. I hope you are in good spirits today!

Wonderful little story, Terry – I always love your creative writing outbursts! 😄 The sandsculpture is amazing! Wish I could do something like that but only ever did little sandcastles and the odd crocodile to freak people out 😉
