What do you see when you look at a picture of some chess pieces? Do you just see the chess pieces or do you see more? What can you read into the picture of a garden statue? When you look at any picture, do you only see what is right in front of your eyes? Or do you see more? Maybe you can see romance. Or maybe you are someone who reads mystery and intrigue into everything you see.
I'm going to share some pictures with you in this article. You need to study each pictures, ask 'what if' questions and come up with stories that could be written based on each photograph. Allow your imagination to take flight and explore all possibilities.
The land appears to be inhabited by chess pieces. All of the characters – knight, bishop, rook, pawn, queen, and king – are represented.
What if all of these chess pieces came to life?
What would life be like in the land of chess?
What could possibly go wrong?
But what about our lives?
What if we are chess pieces in human form moving through this world?
What if our life nothing but a chess game?
Who if someone is in control of the moves we make?
What if there is no one but you in control of the moves you make?
What if . . . ?
This lady does not look very happy at all. She appears to be sitting outside in a chair. Maybe it is even a rocking chair. She doesn't look to be dressed for work, so she must be going somewhere.
What if she is waiting on someone to come and pick her up?
What if she is thinking about the hard life she has had as a slave?
What if she is thinking of family that she has lost? Maybe her husband and/or her children were taken away from her.
What if she had a kind master who set her free of his own accord? Maybe this man has recently died and she is waiting to attend his funeral.
What if . . . ?
At first glance, all you see is a field. Most of this field is overgrown and unkempt. But take a closer look and you will see what appears to be the head and one shoulder of a lady laying down in this field. Her hair is grass, as is her clothing. She appears to be a giant.
How did she come to be in this field?
For what reason did she lay down?
What if she never gets up?
What would happen if she did get up?
What if she became angry and went around in a destructive rage?
What if a witch cast some spell on her to keep her asleep and to cause her to become part of the ground?
What if there is no way to break the spell?
What if there is a way to break the spell?
What if . . . ?
This is a just a picture of an igloo. What kind of ideas could you get from a picture of just an igloo? Well, let's see.
Perhaps a team of scientists have a lab set up inside and are working on some kind of experiment out here away from civilization. What kind of experiment are they performing and why do they have to be so far out to work on it?
What if this igloo just sprung up out of the snow all on its own?
What if no one knows how or why this igloo was built? Would it be a tourist attraction in this cold and desolate land?
What if a family lives in this igloo?
What if this igloo is being used as a hideout?
What if something of value is hidden inside the igloo?
What if someone would kill to keep that secret thing hidden?
What if . . . ?
