I wouldn’t say I make up stories but if you’re asking if I make out with stories then the answer is resoundingly yes

Our inspiration and mission!

One day, we (August and Jill) found an article on Buzzfeed called 50 Unexplainable Black & White Photos.  We were both intrigued and felt that each image demanded a story – so we have set out to write all 50 stories within the year 2012.

Each week, barring two, a new story will be posted on a Wednesday to go along with one of the images. The image and the story, which will usually be a flash fiction piece between 1k and 2k words, will be posted with credit given to the writer for that week.

Hope you enjoy the spooky, uncanny, imaginative stories we come up with!

Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds’ eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas—abstract, invisible, gone once they’ve been spoken—and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created.
