This week, imagine stumbling across this photo in a box of old family mementos in the attic. You've never seen the house before, nor heard mention of it, but something earned its place in a box of your family's most prized possessions. Where is it? Why haven't you seen it until now? What went on there? How does it make you feel?
Use this exercise to write a poem, flash fiction, short story or fictional diary entry. I'll post mine next Monday before I set the next writing prompt. Enjoy!

Thanks for the follow! I will try to write something with your prompt on Monday. Sounds like fun! I love the pic but I am drawing a blank at the moment.
Thank you for joining us at the hearth - so here I am seeing what you're all about. I like :)
Interesting concept. I'll see if I can hobble something together.
Kind regards

I think that photo has just spawned my August novel o.O LOL awesome!
What a great idea, and an evocative photo...hmm, maybe I should play... :)
I love the picture, which is right up my alley for flash fiction. I'd like to play along. My next flash fiction post won't be until June 1st, but I'll pick either this one or what you post tomorrow. I'm excited and thanks for the follow!
Love this particular picture and playing along here http://1dayiwll.blogspot.com/
What a fantastic prompt and what an evocative pic...I feel like I should give this a go sometime this week. :)
Stopping by again to award you with the Styling Blogger Award. It can be picked up on my blog. Congrulations!
Oh, that's so cool! Very cool picture! I love prompts :)
Noticed you following a lot of the blogs I follow, so I thought I'd drop by! It's so nice to meet you! I'm following along :)
What a great photo! Love it! My head is spinning with ideas. I'm also stopping by to say hello and thanks for the follow.
Can't wait to read more posts.
So intriguing, I love it!
Thanks for connecting with me. This photo is fascinating. My mind is going in several directions with a writing prompt.
A great photo - so dark and mysterious. And a great idea.
Thanks for the follow too.
The photo is great. I see many faces and images. Half of an owl's face is to the left of the window in the middle arch, upstairs. A creature's side profile lurks out the front doors. And, there is an image of a person standing to the left of the front steps, as if he or she is walking toward them. Call me crazy, but that's what I see.
What does it prompt? A whole heckuva lot. I'll be checking back by, as I'd love to write some short fiction. I could use the mental exercise. www.cfitewrite.blogspot.com.
Great idea, btw. :))

Did I miss a word limit? Or is it up to us?

thanks for this opportunity!
I love this photo! It inspires intriguing inspiration ;D
Nice to meet you~
I LOVE LOVE LOVE old houses. They really do spark the imagination, and in person, they have so much personality. It is too bad they are so much work to maintain and I lack skills, but I sure can write a story about them!
And I am your follower 42, which I believe makes me the meaning of life. *shifty*
Fabulous house and inspiration. I love old houses.
This is a lovely idea. Writing prompts can be such a huge help. http://middlepassages-lcs.blogspot.com/
Great picture. I'll have to stop back and participate next time.
What a cool idea!
Thanks for the follow :]
I look forward to reading your work!
It reminds me of the Woman in Black house. . . looks so paranormally -- which I love!!!
new follower :)
Great picture. And great idea. I'm excited to see how everything goes on your journal to novel writer.
Oh my stars! What a wonderful old house. I'd be scrambling to find out whatever I could if I were to find this photo in my photos. What wonderful stories it much have within its walls. Thanks for sharing.
It makes me slightly sad that I seemed to have missed this awesome prompt, but it makes me totally sad to see that this doesn't seem to be continuing.
Looks like not many people posted stories. Hm. Well, I'll be a trend breaker.
