Recently, I "liked" a page on Facebook called "Creepy Places."  The page posts pictures of just that including the name and location of the place.  With each picture I've seen I start thinking that there has to be a story behind it - whether that story is inside my head or inside the head of someone else.  I thought I would try posting a picture here on my blog and giving people a chance to see what kind of story they can come up with. 

Here's your chance to see if you have a story inside of you.  Take a look at the picture here and post a short story in the comments below.  I'll send a participant web badge to the folks who post and at the end of the week, I'll have an independent party read the stories and pick a winner.  I'll send a winner's web badge of my own design to that person.
 

Now that the pictures up here, let's see those stories!

Declaration of Independance

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_declaration_of_independence "WASHINGTON – Preservation scientists at the Library of Congress have discovered that Thomas Jefferson , even in the act of declaring independence from England, had trouble breaking free from monarchial rule. In an early draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote the word "subjects," when he referred to the American public. He then erased that word and replaced it with "citizens," a term he used frequently throughout the final draft." This brings a striking thought to mind! What if Thomas Jefferson, a horticulturist , political leader, architect , archaeologist , paleontologist , musician, inventor, founder of the University of Virginia , and of course, the third President of the United States, secretly harbored dreams of his own kingdom? Obviously, he was such an intelligent and revolutionary man, one might be able to see how he could simplify many of the c

Yesterday I participated in an online writing challenge. I've never done anything quite like that before, but I definitely enjoyed it. I surprised myself at how many words I was able to churn out in just an hour.
