The Thursday Doors Writing Challenge 2026
is over, but Iβm still writing the occasional story for
any image that catches my fancy … and hopefully yours!
Todayβs story is inspired by an image by Resa @ Art Gowns.
Thanks to Dan Antion for making these images available.
Opening sentence is from Missyβs Mad Challenge.

Hello, all my friends! See you later! Ciau, tutti amichi! Ni sintemu doppo! ππΌββοΈ
