Five Photos, Five Stories (Day 1)

The rain slashes, harsh and cruel.

A fresh day dawns, ignorant and bright.

The land lay, battered and bruised.

A new friend awaits, compassionate and true.

I’ve been nominated by the awesome Sarah Brentyn in a Five Photos, Five Stories (in five days) challenge. And I accept. So here is my Day 1 photo, and my, um, story. Thank you Sarah for the much needed kick in the blog. I needed it. Now I nominate CJ to take on this fun photo challenge. She is crazy busy, but here is hoping that she can squeeze in a fun challenge.

The “rules” of the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge are:

1) Post a photo each day for five consecutive days.
2) Attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or a short paragraph. It’s entirely up to the individual.
3) Nominate another blogger to carry on the challenge. Your nominee is free to accept or decline the invitation. Just have fun.

Till tomorrow,
