Hi! My name is Toni and this is my blog on writing prompts. Sometimes inspiration strikes me anywhere, sometimes I badly need a jumpstart. This blog helps with those jumpstarts, when you need a little push. Hopefully the writing prompts open your mind further to new ideas and help encourage you into writing more. A little writing help never hurt!

Picture Prompt: Old Man

October 27th 2007 00:35


This old man has been standing in the same spot for one hour now. He has been casting careful glances at the structure to his left, and looking deeply into the street after. It doesn't look like he'd be comfortable standing for an hour given his cane. There must be more to this than it seems.

What is this old man's story? What story would you write about him?

What's your story?

He stands, waiting patiently for an old friend, whose letter did not clearly state when he will be arriving, but it is today the two shall unite and speak of the old days. His eyes cast steadily on the road, waiting, for that bus that shall soon be appearing from the horizon.

he's waiting for his daughter to pick him up. what he doesn't know is he has nothing to expect for. her daughter had left her, to be abandoned forever. she has been in deep quarrel with her husband to the point that they are about to separate, all because of this old man that they consider a burden to them.

poor old man, he's looking around where he can sit and rest even for a while.

Hi Amy. Sounds promising. And when they unite, they'll do so over pints of beer and be twenty-somethings again.

Hi Em. Oh that's so sad! I wonder how long this old man will be waiting for his daughter to come.
