Day 20: Based on the image below, write a one-sentence story. What parts of the image do you pick and what parts are unimportant? Why did you pick the parts you did?
Consider the most famous example of this prompt, Ernest Hemingway’s six-word heartbreaker:
For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn
They perished that evening on the ice, cold and exhausted, tethered to one another by a single strand of hope that neither had the strength, or the resolve to pursue.
----------------------------
For me, the strongest element within this image is the connection between beast and man. The two here may not be emotionally bonded, but the rope represents as much, as well as the lengths one would go to in order to aid the other, in spite of the risks. That idea spoke out to me, moreso than the literal depiction of an environmentalist in the midst of an animal rescue over thin ice.
