This is a little experiment in flash fiction, using photos by a very talented photographer, Ryan McGuire, who generously lets people use his images without charge - you can find them at Gratisgraphy. The idea is to craft a story in 100 words or less. If you'd like to have a go, write a story to go with this picture, 100 words maximum, and put it in the comments section.
"I could have made it as a serious actress. I still have that clipping from the review of 'Our Town' that said I was "also quite convincing" and praised our play as "above the usual standards of a high school production." I did movies, too. My favorite was "Kill, Baby, Kill!" in which I was "Second Victim." But I realized I have a higher calling: to bring cheer and laughter to children. Sure, I'm giving up money and fame, but just imagine how delighted kids will be when they see this face.”
