Are you up to a challenge? A challenge where you will need your imagination, a photo and a lot of only six words?
During the next two weeks I am searching for stories about POVERTY. In only six words! Let a photo or image inspire you to write a story. Or first write the story, and then make or search for a picture to go with it.
Such a strong story and unseen images in only six words…
Every two weeks on Wednesday I will post a new theme for this Six Word Story Challenge. Publish your Six Word Story on your own website/blog and paste the link to that post in a comment here at Figments. I will include your contribution in this post, forming a list of stories.
Will you join me? Will you? Say you do 😀 And share the challenge news!
Have fun writing,
Marion
The next challenge will be posted on Wednesday, March 13.

Excellent and horrible video about the bio-industry and mass-production and -consumption. Your contribution to this Six-Word-Story challenge has hit me deep.
And you are so right, Dauw:
Don’t let it get (any) chillier.
Fijn weekend,
