We’re 7 in our photography classes. So our teacher assigned to each of us a color of the rainbow for our essays.
I got red.
Red???? Seriously????
I would have liked to have green, and go to a forest for nice pictures with the sun rays finding their way in through the tree branches full of green leaves.
Or blue, and have a stunning picture of sea and sky.
Or orange, yellow, purple, indigo… Just not RED!
What can I picture in red?
Love? Pfff!!!… As if this even existed!
Red roses, strawberries? Blah, cheee-sy!
Blood? Uh… That’d be cool! But maybe too graphic, huh?
And why do I keep thinking love for red? Love does not exist! It’s an illusion!
Well, fine, I admit I believed it until recently. But now I know there is no such thing like love. Just pain.
Love pain!
Love pain????
Hey… maybe that’s it!

Great story for the photo prompt Etol! Loved the story – very engaging!
Thanks!
I’ll just have an apple shot! 😄 Great story! 🙂
Thanks, but I guess she would think apples are cheesy too. She seems to be obsessed with her love pain…. ;o)
Engaging, funny, and there’s even a bit of mystery with the character’s reference to his/her personal history. In other words: I liked it a lot!
Thanks! 😉
Ha I would have gone for blood any day 😛 But a great take on the prompt! It’s good that she finally decided with “love pain”!
unique take on the image. Thanks for the quick read.
Haha! Were you reading my thoughts? Nice take!
Interesting post. You did a good job with the prompt. 🙂
Ooooh, what an unusual take on the prompt. Nicely done!
I loved how you explored the possibilities of the colour red before settling on pain…well done…
Wow! I love how you chose to wrote on the bold color read. I enjoyed reading this story. 🙂
At first I wasn’t sure if you were writing for this prompt or giving us a little background information…which means it was that realistic…fun read!
