CIMPLE – A Curious Introvert's Musings & Photos about Life and Enjoyment

Fog – Fifty Word Story

The gloomy fog of disinterest that shadowed her waking hours escalated into a running nightmare of despair once asleep.  A barbed wire fence blocked every escape

and the endless violent swirl of branches drawing blood from her arms offered the only proof in her daily existence that she was alive.

    Horrible – she in some sort of purgatory? That’s the sensation I get from the piece.

      Not purgatory, but the character is lost in her daily life. In her nightmares she recognizes and tries to escape the despair, but she has not discovered the right path yet.

    technical question……did you put your camera on a tripod,use a slower shutter speed & zoom back during the taking of the shot?

      I still have not achieved my goal of using a tripod this year. The shots were made using a slower shutter speed and adjusting the zoom during the shot.

        thought so.If you use a tripod,you can get that affect even more so with a large focal length zoom!

      After four straight days of fog everything was beginning to look a little eerie.

    deliciously chilling like the ghost story I am reading by Walter de la Mare about a scarecrow!

        I just watched the real Steve Bannon on television instead of the Grim Reaper on SNL which was somewhat startling!

        The political satire on SNL has been great lately, especially Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal of Sean Spicer.
