A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Roolz     Punzle

The challenge is to choose one of the twenty pictures provided <go to pictures> and write a story about it. You can uber-ize it, Xena-tize it, Amazon-ize it or original-ize it. It’s up to you.

The catch? You only have a thousand words. Voting ends 1/1/09 You are voting for the best story. ONE story. Out of ALL the catagories. ONE
