The look


The obvious first guess about what's going on is jealousy or envy. Don't go for easy!  One at a time, try out several ideas below and see how each changes your view of what's happening. Then pick one or one from each category and write for 10-15 minutes.

The people:

Two are siblings.
Two are brother and sister.
None of them know each other.
One is an alien.
What's in the glasses is the most important part of the picture.
At least one is a time traveler.
The girl in the back is looking at the photographer.
One is a god/goddess.
The two toasting are on opposite sides of a conflict.

The theme:

Salvation
Loyalty
Patriotism
Illusions
Wisdom
Censorship
Forgiveness
Bravery
Adulthood
Justice
Fate
Taking a stand
Identity

The location:

Bangladesh
A colony on Mars
Fairy land
100 years in the future
Ancient Greece
Atlantis
Corporate offices in Tokyo
A casino on the coast of France
An alternate time line
Another world
Olympus

Cool! Glad you had fun with it :-)

I liked the tension and conflict you built up in just the few paragraphs.

As embarrassing a piece that it is, it sure was fun to write! I smiled and laughed when I completed it.

For that simple gift, I thank you, Joyce. And thank you for continuing to do this. I appreciate your effort. I really do.
