Of the five senses, the most used for description is sight. However, it’s very rare to only have sight to work with. One place where this happens is on security camera footage. There is no dialogue so we have to guess from body language and actions what is happening. Sometimes it’s obvious (a guy is robbing a store) but not always. There is a lot of room for nuance and mystery.
Story Prompt: February 17, 2025
Write a story as seen from a security camera (visuals only)
If you want to try it out, let me know what you come up with. You can send me a link to your story on your own site, either in the comments or at info@greenwalledtreehouse.com. You can also submit your story here for a chance to have it published on the site next week.
Enjoy the world around you.

This one sounds particularly challenging. I am sure if ZI participate my entry will be late again, but I will keep you posted. Speaking of which, The Twins, which is the title of the one I wrote for last week will now be live on Thursday.

This is a good one since. I know of more than one person accused of being up to good because of how it seemed on the viewed film. One man lost his key and was trying to jimmy the lock. It was his own apartment but from the back he looked like an intruder. A neighbor who no doubt needed glasses called the cops. Imagine?

I really like the premise. I can’t recall ever having written anything like it before, but I guess that’s the whole challenge. I really like being challenged too. Thank you for your kindness.

Sounds like you are not going to be here 02272025 when my story, ‘Pinch Me’ for this prompt posts. Just want to let you know it will be here for you when you come back from your trip.
Your prompts are a challenge, and I am taking full advantage of that option. Safe travels.
