I have to say that I wouldn't have chosen this picture prompt to start one of my stories, but I had to come up with something. I looked beyond the obvious when I started. There was a chicken of course and a girl or maybe a boy, it was hard to tell and then there was the cigarette. The picture was taken in a studio of some sort since you can see what looks like a cloth backdrop behind them. I had to determine why this picture was taken in the first place. Was it just to be different? What would the caption have been? I started to write about the boy and his family first and then brought in the chickens. The cigarette would be the last thing I would add. It was going to be a strange story but I wanted it to be believable some how. I started putting "words on a page" and just played with the characters until I had written the story. I think I met my goal. What do you think?
