PHOTO PROMPT – Dale Rogerson
It is time once again for Friday Fictioneers. 100-ish writers gather from all over the globe to write 100 words on a photo prompt supplied by our hostess Rochelle. You can find the other 100-ish of us by clicking on the underlined link which will tak you to Rochelle’s blog. From there follow the little blue frog.
My piece this week is a bit conceptual. I looked at the prompt without my glasses and saw a snake. From that point on this idea was stuck in my head.
Leviathan Lives
by JE Lillie
This was Eden. That stupid girl, that foolish boy ruined everything. Yet, I am the one left slithering on my belly in the muck.
Even “He Who Shall Not Be Named” was against me that day. He saw my glory and demanded it be taken away. As He did in Heaven so He has done on Earth.
“Thy will be done!” they pray!
“Enough!” I say!
He has had His way for far too long. It is time for me to crawl from these tidal waters. It is time for the sons of Adam to behold the beast that restores the world.

As first, I saw some critter like an octopus, but then it came into clearer focus for me. The Leviathan can’t blame it on Cain, he wasn’t born at the time. Good use of the prompt.
True enough but he is not called Accuser of the Brethren for nothin.
You really made me afraid of what might lurk in that water…
It’s why I never swim.
Hehe, He who shall not be named.. Interesting version of the story. Fun take on the prompt, here comes the dragon.
Yes indeed.
Great story, Joseph! He is not to be messed with. I didn’t see a chair either. I thought it was a pipe of some sort.
Once I put my glasses on I thought it was a pipe too.
And that’s what is so cool about this prompt. There are no wrong answers, ever.
Agreed!
I saw a pipe too. It wasn’t until i read some of the other stories and the comments that the chair became so glaringly obvious.
I’m not sure I’m going to like his restoration work… 😦 Good job.
No one will I am afraid.
Unusual approach to the prompt. Nice story. I still can’t make out what is this.
I think it is acatually a broken chair but without my glasses I saw a snake.
