The Painting
Today’s Fictionwocky challenge was to describe a painting.
Judith: Wow, glad I sharpened this thing yesterday. It’s cutting right through this bastard.
Abra: Hold still, fucker. Wait, this is making a huge mess! How do you get bloodstains out of bedding again?
Holofernes: Huh. This is not how I saw things going.
Instructions
Leg 6 – The Painting Leg: Choose any painting and write a microfiction exactly about that image, of the image, in the image, and nothing else. Describe whatever it is, or whatever is happening, the tension of composition, or what’s in that person’s head (if a portrait). Make it alive. Try not to make too much implied stuff from outside of painting, or what the background of the painting doesn’t show (off-scene events).
