In class a few weeks back, we were shown an old black and white photo from the 50's. In the picture, a woman in her 30's is lounging beside a pool. We were given ten minutes to come up with a short story. Tell me what you think ;D
She leaned forward in the metalic summer chair, ignoring the loud squeak of protest against her weight. One nylon leg crossed the other. Her eyes drifted out into the distant pre-dawn. Slender, manicured fingers were stilled curled around the warm nine millimeter pistol tucked inside her black day purse. Floating in the pool a mere arm's length away was a large man with chaircoal hair. Vacant grey eyes stared up at the woman with faded shock as blood radiated from his chest, dyeing the chlorinated blue. She straightened, finally removing her finger from the trigger to fix her curled hair. Her gaze never left the first glimpse of the rising sun.
"Well," she said as she glanced to the body, "I'm glad we were able to straighten that out."
Get a random picture from the internet, give yourself ten minutes on the clock and just go! You might be surprised at what you'll come up with. :) Till tomorrow~
