Funny Costumes - If I did that, the embarrassment would kill me!

A Nutty Idea - What acorn-y story.

Second Thoughts - People have survived dropping from a 167 foot waterfall. Maybe he’ll be okay!

The Getaway - Wasn’t expecting that twist! I welcome our fluffy overlords.

Great assortment here today, Mark! Stock Photo Stories is so genius!! I've written based off of artwork before, but I just might have to try my hand at some stock photo based writing.

Thanks, Claire. I will scroll through Unsplash or Pexel until a photo "speaks to me." Then I imagine a story for the photo. I like it better than text story prompts most of the time. I also don't have to search for an appropriate image that way. 🤣

May I have permission to employ Canine-7 and the Woofies in my own future work, Mr. Starlin? I have fictional characters in the canine vein who would love to meet them, I'm sure....

Hmmm. “The Getaway” works as a standalone, but a sequel would not be amiss. Just a thought.

Excellent story about Scruffy. I liked the others of course but Scruffy was my favorite.
